SIMtrace will need a patched version of wireshark and the simtrace host utility to fully operate. The installation might be possible from binary packages or will require building from source. The following sections provide some hints how to achieve this on the various Linux distributions. All these operations must be executed as root.

Ubuntu Natty users can use the holger+lp/osmocom PPA to install SIMtrace and upgrade wireshark. The PPA needs to be added to the system, the package database needs to be refreshed and the applications can be installed afterwards. $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:holger+lp/osmocom [sudo] password for username: Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv 84C86214C00BAF820F43585CCABF944FA2AD19FA gpg: requesting key A2AD19FA from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 The next step is to update the package database and install or upgrade the wireshark application. $ sudo apt-get update ... $ sudo apt-get install wireshark simtrace ...

The installation on OpenSUSE uses zypper. The repository must be added via the zypper application and then the binary packages can be installed.

$ zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/zecke23/openSUSE_11.3/home:zecke23.repo $ zypper refresh $ zypper install wireshark simtrace

$ zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/zecke23/openSUSE_11.4/home:zecke23.repo $ zypper refresh $ zypper install wireshark simtrace
