+# Python Wheels for different simulators
+
+This repository contains python wheels for the simulators used by [cohydra](https://github.com/osmhpi/cohydra).
+
+## Installation
+
+It so far tested with **Python 3.7**.
+Use the following command to install *ns-3.30* from the wheel:
+
+```
+sudo pip3 install "https://github.com/osmhpi/python-wheels/releases/latest/download/ns-3.30-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Problems with nacl dependency
+After installing the wheel and trying to run cohydra with the dependencies from the wheel, it can happen that `nacl` does not work anymore.
+During the execution of cohydra it tried to use `nacl._sodium` as part of the dependency `paramiko`, but didn't found it anymore.
+
+To solve this problem, reinstall `nacl`:
+
+```
+sudo pip3 uninstall pynacl
+sudo pip3 install pynacl
+```
+
+If you are facing issues during the uninstall of `pynacl` (pip does not want to uninstall the package), run:
+
+```
+sudo apt remove python3-pip
+```
+
+and reinstall it like it is described here: [https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/)
+
+### I have python 3.6.x or older
+
+Run:
+
+```
+sudo apt install python3.7
+```
+
+to install python 3.7.
+And follow these instructions afterwards: [https://jcutrer.com/linux/upgrade-python37-ubuntu1810](https://jcutrer.com/linux/upgrade-python37-ubuntu1810)
