The SimNow simulator requires the following:

SimNow Installation

This section describes the steps necessary to install and run the SimNow simulator.

Installing from the RPM

With the RPM, simnow-1-1-redhat.i386.rpm or simnow-1-1-suse.i386.rpm, install the package by running (as root):

rpm -i simnow-1-1-redhat.i386.rpm

or

rpm -i simnow-1-1-suse.i386.rpm

This will install the SimNow application in the /usr/local directory. The necessary images will be installed in /usr/local/share/simnow/images. This will include snippet.bsd, the file you will use to run the simulator when you wish to insert your own code (see Section 5). If you wish to use system.bsd (provided for download with the rpm), this configuration will expect a disk image, named diskimage.hdd to also be in the images directory. See Appendix A for more information about the structure of the disk images.
