How Do I Run an Ns2 File on Windows

Consider this article as the answer for the question “how do I run an Ns2 file on windows?” because our research experts have provided the step by step process of running the file based on network simulator 2 in windows.

Install Ns2 with Cygwin on Windows

Initially, we have to download and install the Cygwin to install Ns2 on windows from the below mentioned URL.

https://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe

Following that, we have to download the Ns-2.28 from the below mentioned URL to install in windows.
