opp-env 0.31.1.241031

A tool, that sets up the development environment for OMNeT++ projects

opp_env: Simplifying OMNeT++ Model Installations

opp_env is a powerful tool that allows for the easy and automated installation of OMNeT++ simulation frameworks and models, including dependencies like INET Framework and OMNeT++ itself. It can install any version of OMNeT++ and INET, as well as currently selected versions of Veins, SimuLTE, Simu5G and other models. We are working towards expanding its database with more models, and we are open to suggestions and contributions.

opp_env supports Linux and macOS systems. On Windows 11, opp_env can be run on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2).

[!NOTE] opp_env relies on Nix, a powerful package manager that provides isolation between different versions of dependencies and allows for reproducible builds. By leveraging the power of Nix, opp_env ensures that each installation is consistent and can be easily replicated on different machines.

Features

opp_env provides a number of powerful features that make it a valuable tool for any researcher or developer working with OMNeT++ simulation frameworks:

• Automated installation of OMNeT++ simulation frameworks and models, including dependencies like INET Framework and OMNeT++ itself.
• Support for any version of OMNeT++ and INET, as well as select versions of Veins, SimuLTE, Simu5G and other 3rd party models.
• Reproducible builds thanks to the powerful isolation provided by Nix.
• Easy to use shell command that sets up an environment for working with the selected simulation framework.
• Customizable configuration options that allow for advanced control over the installation process.

Installation

See the INSTALL page.

Usage

To install a specific version of a simulation framework and its dependencies, first create a workspace and initialize it:

mkdir workspace && cd workspace && opp_env init

Then run the following command:

opp_env install <framework-version>

For example, to install Simu5G version 1.2.1, run the following command:

opp_env install simu5g-1.2.1

This will download Simu5G, the matching INET and OMNeT++ packages and compile them.

[!TIP] To install the latest version of a package, use the latest pseudo-version e.g. to install the latest version of OMNeT++ use opp_env install omnetpp-latest

To open a shell prompt where you can use the recently installed Simu5G model, type:

opp_env shell simu5g-1.2.1

[!IMPORTANT] You cannot use the packages you installed via opp_env outside of opp_env shell or opp_env run.
