NetBeans is not officially supported either, but there is a HOWTO as well. The Eclipse IDE is not an officially supported platform, but some developers use it and have compiled a HOWTO. Integrated development environment support Eclipse
#PYTHON EMULATOR FOR MAC WINDOWS#
Some aspects of ns-3 depend on Unix (or specifically Linux) support, such as the emulation or TapBridge features, and those components are not enabled on the Windows or MacOS versions cited above.Īdditional maintainers are invited to make more platforms, compilers and environments supported. Windows Visual Studio 2012 (presently being upgraded).The following platforms are lightly supported: If you intend to do serious work using ns-3, and are forced by circumstances to use a Windows platform, consider virtualization of a popular Linux platform or using Windows Subsystem for Linux. The minimum Python version supported is currently version 3.5 or greater (major version 3).īy supported, we mean that the project tries to support most or all of the build options on these platforms unless there is a good reason to exclude the option and at least the debug build will compile. FreeBSD and Linux (x86_64): clang/LLVM version 3.9 and above (older versions down to 3.3 may work).MacOS Apple LLVM: version 8.0.0 and above (version 7.0.0 may work).Other Linux distributions typically have a suitable default compiler (at least version 4.9).
#PYTHON EMULATOR FOR MAC HOW TO#
Note: If you are using RHEL or Centos, you will likely need to install a more up-to-date compiler than the default search for how to enable 'software collections' or 'devtoolset' on these distributions.Linux (x86 and x86_64): gcc/g++ versions 4.9 and above.Ns-3 is supported and currently tested on the following primary platforms: The below instructions are per-platform instructions for supplemental packages that enable optional features of ns-3 or companion tools.

Ns-3 is primarily developed on GNU/Linux and macOS platforms, and the minimal requirements to run basic simulations are a C++ compiler either g++ or clang++ compiler, and Python (version 3) interpreter.
