Installation

Installing NetSimLan isn’t hard. The way how it’s done depends on your operating system.

Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint

When you’re running Debian or a Debian based Linux Distribution like Ubuntu or Linux Mint installing NetSimLan is very easy. You just open a terminal and type in:
wget -O nslsetup https://apt.netsimlan.org/setup && bash nslsetup
NetSimLan will now be installed and kept up to date along your operating system.

Other Linux distributions

Make sure, the Java Development Kit is installed in version 8 or above. To do so, open a terminal and type in javac --version If the command isn’t found or the output tells your Java version is below 8, please install or update it.

After that you go to the download page, download netsimlan-linux.tar.xz and extract it. It already works at this point, but to make using it more comfortable, you open a terminal in the folder you extracted the files to and type in echo "PATH=\$PATH:$(realpath bin)" >> ~/.bashrc That way you can start it from any folder.
