Network Animator not working while running a network simulation sample file

I am new to network simulation and I have recently installed ns2 by using ns-allinone-2.35. After installation I gave environment path settings and run a sample tcl file in terminal. The terminal shows the output and the folder contains the output file, but the network animator does not shows up.

And when I try nam in terminal it shows Segmentation fault (core dumped)

What should I do to ensure that the nam is working and show the outputs properly.

Uninstall the already existing nam using sudo apt-get remove nam

Now, head to https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dkNPNN23Vy6o_zT0uIRBgUAo1VCXcVOY/view and download the debian package nam_1.14_amd64.deb

Install it using Ubuntu Software Centre or dpkg command sudo dpkg --install nam_1.14_amd64.deb

How to Install NS-2.35 in Ubuntu- 15.10 / 16.04 Step-by-Step

Refer : https://youtu.be/c5zjM5d7hMI OR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5zjM5d7hMI&t=6s

Install NS2

First, check that the universe repository is enabled by inspecting '/etc/apt/sources.list' with your favourite editor. You will need to use sudo to ensure that you have permissions to edit the file.

1.) sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

If universe is not included then modify the file so that it does. 2.) deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily main universe After any changes you should run this command to update your system. 3.) sudo apt-get update

4.) sudo apt-get install ns2

Install Nam

5.) sudo apt-get purge nam

6.) wget --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1" "http://technobytz.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/nam_1.14_amd64.zip"

7.) unzip nam_1.14_amd64.zip

8.) sudo dpkg -i nam_1.14_amd64.deb

9.) sudo apt-mark hold nam

First of all let me say that you don't have to go through so much trouble... You just need to download a version of nam, and use it to show your output.
To do that i have uploaded the nam file for you and it will work fine, you just have to download it and open your output using this nam :

Filesize: 2.620 MB

Example :

/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35# ./nam ./out.nam
