Technically speaking, SimGrid is a library. It is neither a graphical
interface nor a command-line simulator running user scripts. The
interaction with SimGrid is done by writing programs with the exposed
-functions to build your own simulator. This can be done in C/C++, Python or Java,

on Linux, Mac OSX or Windows (using the WSL).
