Installing ndnSIM on Ubuntu 15.04

ndnSIM

The ndnSIM is NS-3 module that implements Named Data Networking (NDN) communication model, the clean slate Internet design. ndnSIM is specially optimized for simulation purposes and has a cleaner and more extensible internal structure comparing to the existing NDN implementation (NDNx).        - ndnSIM website

The steps for installation I followed from the ndnSIM website are as follows:

 

1. Boost library

Minimum version: 1.49
To check the version installed on your system do:
dpkg -s libboost-dev | grep 'Version'

If the version requirement is not satisfied, do the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boost-latest/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev 

The version installed on mine is 1.55.0.2.


2. ndn-cxx library

Add the NDN ppa repository and install ndn-cxx-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:named-data/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ndn-cxx-dev

The following installations are optional:
sudo apt-get install doxygen graphviz python-sphinx python-pip
sudo pip install sphinxcontrib-doxylink sphinxcontrib-googleanalytics

3. For the visualizer

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pygraphviz python-kiwi
sudo apt-get install python-pygoocanvas python-gnome2
sudo apt-get install python-rsvg ipython

4. If not already installed, git

sudo apt-get install git

5. ndnSIM source download

mkdir ndnSIM
cd ndnSIM

git clone https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ns-3-dev.git ns-3
git clone https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/pybindgen.git pybindgen

git clone --recursive https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndnSIM.git ns-3/src/ndnSIM

6. Prerequisites for build

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev libcrypto++-dev

7. Compile and install ndn-cxx library

cd ndnSIM/ndn-cxx
./waf configure --enable-shared --disable-static
./waf
sudo ./waf install 
sudo ldconfig

8. Compile ns3 with ndnSIM module

cd <ns-3-folder>
./waf configure --enable-examples
./waf

9. Run your first example

./waf --run=ndn-simple --vis
