Directly run the programme:

• Require Java Runtime 1.8
• Click and run the file called "org.net.simulator-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" in root folder.
• Suggested resolution: 1920 x 1080
  Note: because currently the UI do not support resize, this is most appreciated resolution.

Compilation dependency:

Please first ensure the following software normally running on your computer:

• JDK 1.8
• IntelliJ IDEA (latest version) with gradle
• Kotlin 1.2
• TornadoFX 1.7.15
• (Optional but recommend) TornadoFX PlugIn For IntelliJ IDEA

Dependency Shown as in build.gradle, if you could open the project folder NetworkSimulator in IntelliJ IDEA with gradle, then it should loaded all required dependency automatically, which includes following...

---

• JUnit 4
• Koma 0.11+
• GraphStream 1.3 (included in the lib file)
• TornadoFX 1.7.15

If you have TornadoFX PlugIn installed with you, you can compile and run the program use "application\run" command located in the right-hand side of your gradle panel.

If you do not going to install the TornadoFX PlugIn, you can then run "main" method in src/main/kotlin/presentation/ui/SimulatorApp.kt.
The method by default is commented, please uncomment it if you want to run it.
