INSTALLATION
* GNS3 dependencies:
- Qt 4.5.1 (or higher)
- Python 2.5 (or higher)
- Sip 4.5 (or higher)
- PyQt 4.5 (or higher)
* WINDOWS users:
Download the GNS3 all-in-one for Windows on http://www.gns3.net (~12 MB)
This program will install a binary version of GNS3 as well as Dynamips, Qemu and WinPCAP.
Recommendation: Dynamips has better performances on other platforms such as Linux or Mac OS X.
* Linux users:
On Linux you just need to install a package called python-qt4 (or similar). Instead, you can compile all the dependencies manually.
A debian package is now available, until officially released with Debian/Ubuntu follow instructions
on http://gpl.code.de/oswiki/GplcodedeApt and install "gns3" package (it might not be up-to-date).
* MacOS X users:
Method 1.
1. Install the Apple Devs Tools (on your Mac OS X DvD or download it on ADC account). Run and install XcodeTools.mpkg.
2. Download Python 2.6 for MacOS X on http://www.python.org/download/ and install it.
3. Download Qt librairies for Mac on http://qt.nokia.com/downloads and install it.
4. Download SIP on http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/download, compile and install it:
Open terminal and cd into the folder you downloaded the tar file and compile via the following commands (example for SIP 4.9.3):
Macintosh:$ tar xvzf sip-4.9.3.tar.gz
Macintosh:$ cd sip-4.9.3
Macintosh:sip-4.9.3$ python configure.py
Macintosh:sip-4.9.3$ make
Macintosh:sip-4.9.3$ make install
5. Download PyQt on http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download, compile and install it:
Again, run the following commands to decompress and compile PyQt (example for PyQt 4.6.2):
Macintosh:$ tar xvzf PyQt-mac-gpl-4.6.2.tar.gz
Macintosh:$ cd PyQt-mac-gpl-4.6.2
Macintosh:PyQt-mac-gpl-4.6.2$ python configure.py
Macintosh:PyQt-mac-gpl-4.6.2$ make
Macintosh:PyQt-mac-gpl-4.6.2$ make install
6. Download and start GNS3.
Method 2 (this can take a few hours as everything is compiled).
1. Download and install MacPorts http://guide.macports.org/#installing (you will need the Apple Devs Tools).
2. Open a terminal and install GNS3 dependencies.
Macintosh:$ sudo port install python26
Macintosh:$ sudo port install py26-sip
Macintosh:$ sudo port install py26-pyqt4
Macintosh:$ sudo port install qt4-mac
Optionnal: to prevent MacPorts to install the last version of the dependencies (which may not work properly with GNS3), you can force a specified version with @.
Example:
Macintosh:$ sudo port install python26
Macintosh:$ sudo port install py26-sip @4.9.3_0
Macintosh:$ sudo port install py26-pyqt4 @4.6.2_0
Macintosh:$ sudo port install qt4-mac @4.5.3_0
3. Download and start GNS3
