ACK Club

Getting Started

Start building network simulations with ACK Club by setting up your environment and running your first experiment.

🛠 Setup Your Development Environment

1. Install Dependencies

ACK Club requires a modern JavaScript runtime and simulation dependencies: 

npm install -g ackclub-cli

2. Create a Project

Initialize a new ACK Club project directory with a basic simulation template: 

ackclub init my-sim
cd my-sim

3. Configure Parameters

Set simulation parameters in the config file for network topology and runtime: 

{
  "topology": "star",
  "nodes": 4,
  "duration": "600s"
}

4. Run Simulation

Start your first simulation and monitor results in real-time: 

ackclub run
