You are assumed to have just OMNeT++ IDE in your system.

Set up environment

If you are using Windows, don't forget to click mingwenv.cmd.

If you are using Docker, skip this step.

If you are using Linux or MacOSX, you need to run . setenv to run the OmNET++ IDE.

$ source setenv
Environment for 'omnetpp-5.x' in directory '/home/.local/lib/omnetpp-5.x' is ready.

Cloning QuISP (if you didn't clone QuISP)

go to where you want to clone QuISP and then clone QuISP from GitHub.

$ git clone https://github.com/sfc-aqua/quisp

if you are using ssh,

$ git clone git@github.com:sfc-aqua/quisp

Start OMNeT++ IDE and configure a workspace for QuISP

and then, run omnetpp command to start OMNeT++ IDE

$ omnetpp
Starting the OMNeT++ IDE...

This starts the Eclipse Launcher. When asked to select your workspace, choose the quisp folder (here, /home/projects/quisp, not /home/projects/quisp/quisp).

Then, open the Workbench. When warned that your workspace is empty, refuse to install samples and INET framework.

Finally, import the QUISP project into your workspace. You can use the File > Import... menu, then select the General > Existing Projects into Workspace wizard.

As a root directory of the project, select the quisp folder. In the list of suggested projects, check the only project that appears then click Finish.

When you did this, the GUI created two folders, .metadata for the workspace and .settings for the project, that are ignored by the git repository.

quisp/
├── .git/
├── setenv*
├── .metadata/
└── quisp/
     └── .settings/

Configure building

Right click quisp in the project explorer and click Property.

then in the category OMNeT++ > Makemake you should get a warning. No makefile has been specified for this project.

Click on the quisp folder below the warning, select the Makemake box and click Apply and close.

Now you should be able to build the project with Ctrl+B or Project > Build all for example.

Running interesting simulations

You should now be ready to simulate quantum networks! Go to running demos.
