The tool has been tested under two different operating systems: Mac OS X and
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) . In both cases, the installation is identical and
is done on the command line.
The presence of the configure file ensures the presence of all the
libraries needed to install rTraceroute . Its execution is very simple and is carried out as follows:
$ ./configure
If all the libraries needed for the project are present, the previous command will generate the
Makefile
file. The execution of this file will be done in two steps, with for each of them the generation, an executable in the
first case and a linux command in the second.
Creating the executable
The rTraceroute executable is created using the
mak e command. This command will read the
Makefile
file created earlier to generate the desired tool based on it.
$ make
Installing the executable
The
Makefile file offers the option of installing the
rTraceroute tool as a command. To do this, simply call
the previous command with the
install option with the necessary rights to this.
$ make install
When the three commands presented have been executed,
rTraceroute is ready for use.
