Linux

This section discusses installation on Ubutnu 18.04. If you run other Linux distribution some steps may be slightly different (e.g. depend on different package manager).

OMNET++

Download OMNET++ 5.4.x tarball from official project site. Extract it to e.g. /home/[user_name]/omnet. Follow official installation guide, but note configuration discussed below.

Following OMNET++ features may be skipped because SMILe does not require them

  • Support for parallel simulation (MPI)
  • Support for 3D visualization, OpenSceneGraph and osgEarth
  • Support for PCAP

Update configure.user

  • Uncomment CFLAGS_RELEASE and CFLAGS_DEBUG
  • Uncomment CXXFLAGS and change it to CXXFLAGS=-std=c++14
  • Set WITH_OSG, WITH_OSGEARTH and WITH_PARSIM accordingly

Create directory for SMILe framework and projects e.g. /home/[user_name]/indoor_loc.

Launch OMNET++ IDE and select newly created indoor_loc directory as default workspace. Close First Steps dialog (do not let OMNET++ IDE to install INET for you).

INET

Download INET 3.6.x tarball from [official project site](https://inet.omnetpp.org/ and extract it to indoor_loc directory. Import INET to your OMNET++ IDE, go to File -> Import.... In new dialog choose General -> Existing projects into Workspace. In next step choose Select root directory and set it to indoor_loc/inet.

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-tk

Install packages required by SMILe using pip. On Ubuntu you will run

Post-installation steps

Edit .bashrc file (it is in your home directory). Add or update following lines

export PATH=$PATH:/home/[user_name]/omnet/bin:/home/[user_name]/indoor_loc/smile/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/goofy/omnetpp/lib
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/[user_name]/indoor_loc/smile/python
