INSTALLATION OF NS2 AND NS3

  Hey guys, In this post we are discussing about how to install ns2 and ns3 together.

Could I install the NS2 and NS3 in the same computer?

Yes, You can install both in same computer and its easy. 

And for that you have to run this simple command on terminal;

sudo apt-get install ns2 ns3

If we have a look at the installed files for each package you will see that both can happily exist on the same system with no potentially overwritten files or duplicate filenames:
