Quick Start
On Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (x86-64), run the following commands to build and install DMPACK from source:
$ sudo apt-get install -y gcc gfortran make pkg-config $ sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends curl ffmpeg gnuplot ghostscript graphicsmagick \ groff gsfonts lua5.4 sqlite3 libblas-dev liblapack-dev libcurl4t64 libcurl4-openssl-dev \ libfcgi-bin libfcgi-dev libhdf5-103-1t64 libhdf5-dev liblua5.4 liblua5.4-dev libmodbus5 \ libmodbus-dev libpcre2-8-0 libpcre2-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev libstrophe0 libstrophe-dev \ libzstd1 libzstd-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev $ cd /tmp/ $ curl -O -L https://github.com/dabamos/dmpack/archive/refs/heads/master.zip $ unzip master.zip $ cd dmpack-master/ $ sh fetchvendor.sh $ make linux $ sudo make install PREFIX=/opt
DMPACK is installed to /opt. Add path /opt/bin to the PATH environment
variable in /etc/profile or ~/.profile to start DMPACK programs from
command-line. Afterwards, configure POSIX message
queues. If the message queue file system is not mounted at /dev/mqueue
already, run:
$ sudo mkdir -p /dev/mqueue $ sudo mount -t mqueue none /dev/mqueue
Set the maximum number of messages and the maximum message size, and add the
settings to /etc/sysctl.conf:
$ sudo sysctl fs.mqueue.msg_max=32 $ sudo sysctl fs.mqueue.msgsize_max=16384 $ sudo echo "fs.mqueue.msg_max=32" >> /etc/sysctl.conf $ sudo echo "fs.mqueue.msgsize_max=16384" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
Verify the configuration by executing script runtest.sh in
/tmp/dmpack-master. You can now use any DMPACK program, for example:
$ dminfo
See the next section for complete installation instructions.
