I'm running Ubuntu 17.10.1 and have downloaded sumo 0.32.0 from the Ubuntu respository via Synaptic. Configuration instructions assert that SUMO_HOME should be set in the "base directory" of the installation, adding that this directory contains the subdirectories "bin" and "tools." While as search shows a tools subdirectory located in "/usr/share/sumo/tools/contributed/traas/src/de/tudresden/sumo," there certainly is no "bin" subdirectory. Bottom line, I have attempted to set the SUMO_HOME environmental variable to /usr/bin/sumo, usr/share/sumo, and /usr/share/doc/sumo/examples/sumo -- all with the same results ... SUMO_HOME not found. If not in any of these locations, where?

According to official documentation for pre-packaged SUMO the following setting is correct:

export SUMO_HOME=/usr/share/sumo

If it works, then you can add it to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile.

Please note, that examples are located in /usr/share/doc/sumo-doc and available from sumo-doc package.

You can start sumo-gui with simple hello network /usr/share/doc/sumo-doc/tutorial/hello/data/hello.netccfg .

    To make it apply on a global scale, OP should add SUMO_HOME='/usr/share/sumo' to /etc/environment and then reboot. This way the entire system gets that variable available, not just the single individual's singular session. – Thomas Ward Apr 01 '18 at 17:44
