running cooja in contiki with cmd "ant run"

Question

When I want to run "ant run" in contiki-3.9/tools/cooja, I am facing following error:

BUILD FAILED /home/user/contiki-3.0/tools/cooja/build.xml:199: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/user/contiki-3.0/tools/cooja/apps/mspsim/build.xml:29: - Could not find the MSPSim build file. Did you run "git submodule update --init"?

but actually I ran

             git submodule init
             git submodule update

before using "ant run".

Please help me on this problem, I'm new to contiki-os and should use it for my master thesis

Answer 1

The following worked for me:

1. Download the mspsim separately from this link https://github.com/contiki-os/mspsim (check your home/contiki/tools/mspsim and home/contiki-3.0/tools/mspsim directories, both are probably empty).
2. Remove the empty mspsim directory from both places
3. After unzip mspsim-master, paste the unzipped mspsim-master directory on both places
4. Rename the directory from mspsim-master to mspsim on both palces.
5. Go to terminal (user@instant-contiki:~/contiki-3.0/tools/cooja$) and run this command ant run
6. No need to use sudo

Enjoy!
