INSTALL DEPENDENCIES OF OMNET++:
- JDK Installation:
JDK 1.8, also known as Java SE 8, is a significant release of the Java Development Kit that introduced major features like lambda expressions, the Stream API, and the new Date and Time API. These enhancements simplified code writing, improved performance, and made Java more modern and efficient for developers. JDK 1.8 remains widely used due to its stability and long-term support.

INSTALL OMNET++ SIMULATOR:
- Locating the omnetpp-6.0.1 Folder:
Next, we need to install the OMNET++ in our system so locate the Extracted omnetpp-6.0.1 folder in the OMNET++ Installation directory.

3.Configuring the OMNET++ 6.0.1:
Next, we need to configure the OMNET++ packages that extracted and use command “./configure” command in OMNeT++ is a Mandatory step in preparing the simulation environment for building and running simulations. It checks for necessary dependencies, configures the build environment, and generates the Makefile needed for compilation. Running this command ensures that the system is correctly set up according to the specific requirements of OMNeT++, enabling a smooth installation and operation process.
Command: “./configure”

OMNET++ 6.0.1 Configuration Process Completed successfully.
OMNET++ Compilation process:
Next, we need to compile the OMNET++ packages that extracted and use command “make” command in OMNeT++ is used to compile the source code after the configuration step has been completed. It reads the Makefile, generated by the ./configure command, and builds the project by compiling all necessary files and linking them together. This command is essential for transforming the source code into an executable program or library, allowing you to run and test your simulations in OMNeT++.
Command: “make”

4.Launching OMNET++ 6.0.1 Simulator:
Omnet++ 6.0.1 is the latest version of the OMNeT++ discrete event simulation framework, offering advanced tools and features for modeling and simulating complex network systems. This version includes updates and improvements in performance, usability, and compatibility, making it more efficient for conducting detailed simulations of communication networks, embedded systems, and other distributed systems. Omnet++ 6.0.1 maintains its modular architecture, enabling users to create, reuse, and extend components easily, while also supporting a wide range of protocols and extensions for specialized simulations.
Here we will Launch the OMNET++ 6.0.1 IDE by using the below command.
Command: “omnetpp”
