Algorand protocol simulator

To run this simulation you need to install omnet++.

For Ubuntu 22.04 - Errors and Solutions

If you are installing omnet++ and following the INSTALL txt file and came accross the following error:

configure: error: Standard C math library -lm not found

Try

sudo apt install libstdc++-12-dev

OPTIONAL:

Add "{installation home}/bin" to your PATH environment variable so that you can start omnet++ from any directory.

Install Algorand's libsodium fork

First, you may need to install libboost-all-dev:

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev 

Secondly, to install Algorand's libsodium fork, you need to go to the dependencies folder. Inside algorand-protocol-simulator/dependencies/libsodium-fork run:

sudo bash ./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

Running the simulation

Inside algorand-protocol-simulator/src run make to generate the simulation executable.

If everything goes well, you should see:

GlobalSimulationManager.cc
ParticipationNode.cc
SimulationEvent.cc
Creating executable: ../out/clang-release/src/algorand-protocol-simulator

To run the simulation, run the following command:

./algorand-protocol-simulator -r 0 -u Cmdenv -c General -n ../src;. omnetpp.ini
