Installation in Ubuntu 16.04

This guide will focus on installing genieacs-sim on Ubuntu 16.04. No matter if it is a Server or a Desktop version.

Installing Node.js

In package.json is specified to install Node.js version 6.9.2 or higher. Let's install it:

cd ~
sudo apt install curl python -y 
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x -o nodesource_setup.sh
sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh
sudo apt install nodejs -y

Installing genieacs-sim

As the README.json suggests,

git clone https://github.com/zaidka/genieacs-sim.git
cd genieacs-sim
npm install

Then, all is explained when you type:

./genieacs-sim --help

But, a simple example would be:

./genieacs-sim -u http://your.server:PORT/ -p 100

This way, we will simulate 100 devices, connecting to a remote ACS Server.
