Install BigHybrid under Ubuntu 16.04 Server

BigHybrid is a simulator based on SimGrid, used to simulate MapReduce under Hybrid environment (Desktop Grid and Cloud environment). Followings are the steps to install

• BigHybrid needs SimGrid version 3.14.159. Download the zip from this link: https://github.com/simgrid/simgrid/archive/v314159.zip
• Install some packages needed: libboost-dev libboost-context-dev
• Extract the zip. It will be easier if you use unzip. Just install it using the following command: sudo apt-get install unzip
• Install the simgrid

cd simgrid-3_14_159
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/simgrid .
make 
make install

• Now download and install BigHybrid

wget https://github.com/Julio-Anjos/Bighybrid/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd BigHybrid

• Change the INSTALL_PATH in Makefile and examples/Makefile. Point to the folder where you put the SimGrid. In my case, my INSTALL_PATH is like this: INSTALL_PATH = /home/arwan/simgrid-3_14_159. You can do this by using any editor you like. In my case, I love nano. I did this to edit: nano Makefile and nano examples/Makefile
• Now run the BigHybrid (note that now you are in BigHybrid folder)

make
