Installing Sniper 5.3 on UBUNTU 13.1 virtual machine Yinnon Meshi, [email protected] Technion, Israel

Hi all, Because I had to install Sniper several times, and the installation is not that easy, I wrote myself a cheat sheet that would shorten things up. I decided to expand it and post it for other people to use. Hope this helps… If you find mistakes – please let me know How to install sniper: 1. Download and install VMware Player from vmware.com 2. Download Ubuntu 13.1 ISO (or later..) 3. Install the ISO and create a virtual machine with Ubuntu 13.1 4. Install the following packages (using Ubuntu Software Center) a. zlib1g-dev b. libbz2-dev c. g++ d. libsqlite3-dev e. libboost-dev f. m4 g. xsltproc h. libx11-dev i. libxext-dev j. libxt-dev k. libxmu-dev l. libxi-dev 5. download sniper into download folder: a. Go to http://snipersim.org/w/Download and request a download link. b. Cd Downloads c. Wget d. extract it to library : /sniper (I did it from the file browser  extract here)
