Installing NS-2.35 (Network Simulator 2) in Fedora 18

Image
By

This post helps the developers to install NS-2.35 version in Fedora 18.

Settings:

  • I have used GNOME Desktop with all softwares selected. See the image below
  • From Fedora 18, a new type of installer is designed as shown.

WP_000120

The default installer of Fedora 18 does not install all the softwares that are needed for X Software development, so we need to download those softwares.

Installation of NS-2.35

  • Open Terminal, Give the following command one by one
    • su (press enter and enter your root or super user password)
    • yum groupinstall "X Software Tools"
    • exit (to come out of root user mode)
  • Once installed, download the NS-2.35 allinone software from the following link. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24623828/ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz
  • Copy that file to /home/pradeep (This is my home folder)
  • Open terminal again and execute the following commands one by one
    • tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz
    • cd ns-allinone-2.35
    • ./install (this is dot slash install)
  • You may possibly get one error during your installation is linkstate/ls.h error
  • If you get the above error, open the file (~ns-2.35/linkstate/ls.h) using gedit or any text editor
  • Go to line number 137 and change this line (void eraseAll() { erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); })  to

void eraseAll() { this->erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); }

  • again you try the command ./install and this time the installation will be successful.
  • Once installed the PATH information will be provided to you.
  • Copy the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH Variable to /home/pradeep/.bash_profile (see a dot in the beginning)

    • Input the path information in .bash_profile file like this

    export PATH=$PATH:<Place your paths here>

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH: <place the LD_LIBRARY_PATHS> here.

    Once done, save the file and close

    execute the command

    source .bash_profile

    try ns or nam to see whether your installation succeeded.

Simulation of URDF, Gazebo and Rviz | ROS Noetic Tutorial 8

By
Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz.   (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the ...
