Trace analysis for NS-2 output. Download from tracegraph.com or use the copy below, then follow these steps. The paths assume a home directory of /home/iraza/ — substitute your own.

1. Copy the files into your home directory.
2. Untar the archive: tar zxvf tracegraph202.tar.gz
3. A folder tracegraph202/ is created. Change into it: cd tracegraph202
4. Copy the MGL installer into that folder: cp /home/iraza/mglinstaller.gz /home/iraza/tracegraph202
5. Unzip it: gzip -d mglinstaller.gz
6. Run it: ./mglinstaller
7. The installer creates a folder inside bin. Add it to the library path:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/iraza/tracegraph202/bin/glnx86

8. Put that line in .bashrc in your home directory. Every user needs their own; for root the file is /root/.bashrc.
9. Open it with vi /home/iraza/.bashrc or gedit /home/iraza/.bashrc and add the line above.
10. Save, close, log out and log back in. Then from the tracegraph202 folder run ./trgraph
