Install ns3-dev through bake on Ubuntu

Bake is an open source integration tool implemented in Python and it is used to automate the build of a number of projects which depend on each other.

First, install ns3 dependencies:

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ python python-dev mercurial gdb valgrind gsl-bin libgsl0-dev flex bison tcpdump sqlite sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-dev vtun lxc uncrustify doxygen graphviz imagemagick texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-generic-extra texlive-generic-recommended python-pygraphviz python-kiwi python-pygoocanvas libgoocanvas-dev

 Now, download bake and check the dependencies:

 mkdir ns3
cd ns3
hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/bake
cd bake
python bake.py check

 > Python - OK
 > GNU C++ compiler - OK
 > Mercurial - OK
 > CVS - is missing
 > GIT - OK
 > Bazaar - is missing
 > Tar tool - OK
 > Unzip tool - OK
 > Unrar tool - is missing
 > 7z  data compression utility - is missing
 > XZ data compression utility - OK
 > Make - OK
 > cMake - is missing
 > patch tool - OK
 > autoreconf tool - is missing

 sudo apt-get install cvs unrar p7zip-full cmake dh-autoreconf bzr

Now, we configure our system to install ns-3-dev. By the way, you can choose ns-3.25.

./bake.py configure -e ns-3-dev
./bake.py show

-- System Dependencies --
 > g++ - OK
 > pygoocanvas - Missing
   >> The pygoocanvas is not installed, try to install it.
   >> Try: "sudo apt-get install python-pygoocanvas", if you have sudo rights.
 > pygraphviz - Missing
   >> The pygraphviz is not installed, try to install it.
   >> Try: "sudo apt-get install python-pygraphviz", if you have sudo rights.
 > python-dev - OK
 > qt4 - Missing
   >> Didn't find:   QT 4, download and install it from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/
   >> Try: "sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev", if you have sudo rights.
 > setuptools - Missing
   >> The python-setuptools package is not installed, try to install it.
   >> Try: "sudo apt-get install python-setuptools", if you have sudo rights.

sudo apt-get install python-pygraphviz qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev python-setuptools

> pygraphviz - Missing
   >> The pygraphviz is not installed, try to install it.
   >> Try: "sudo apt-get install python-pygraphviz", if you have sudo rights.

 To fix pygraphviz, I read in several blogs that the solution is:

sudo apt-get install  python-pip python-virtualenv graphviz-dev graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config

but, I don't know why bake not recognize pygraphviz on the system. By the way, pygraphviz is not essential for ns3.
Now proceed to download ns3 files and compile them:

./bake.py download -vvv
./bake.py build -vvv

Now test your first simulation on ns3:

cd source/ns-3-dev
./waf --run first

How to fix Android when developer options are not available for this user

Image
I have an Android One with Oreo version and suddenly my Android rebooted and after that it started to behave strangely: 1) Notification section doesn't work. I can't see notifications from my apps and the arrow and the screw icon to settings access don't work. 2) As I can't access to the notification area, I can't enable Use USB to Transfer Files to access to my phone memory. 3) I can't access to developer mode (I before active it with a lot of taps over Build number). Clicking on developer options just shows developer options are not available to this user. 4) I can't update or install the apps on google play. They freeze on Download pending... message 5) Home and Switch buttons don't work. They light up and vibrate when I tap them but they do nothing. This issue is apparently related to a deconfiguration of user accounts. To fix it, you need re-setup the users. As you can't access to the user manager (you are in guest mode ...

How to install Matlab without GUI

Contiki 3.0 on XM1000

Image
In other post, I installer contiki 3.x on xm1000. Now, we going to install contiki 3.0 (the lastest version). First, you need to dowload the lastest code from github: git clone https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki.git Now we need to add xm1000 compatibility to our contiki. Thanks to DMI   for the xm1000 patch. Without it, you will see the following error: make: *** No rule to make target 'obj_xm1000/cc2420.o', needed by 'contiki-xm1000.a'.  Stop. I upgrade his patch with an app to access to the xm1000 sensors. Download it from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7NXiwmWq7jCb3ROSFZZSWliMnc/view?usp=sharing Now, extract it into contiki folder: tar xzvf xm1000.tar.gz cd xm1000 cp -R * $YOUR_CONTIKI_PATH Go to the apps folder and execute an script that I create to automate the process: cd $YOUR_CONTIKI_PATH/platform/xm1000/apps/sensors ./install.sh Enjoy it!
