Quick Start
On Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, run the following commands to build and install DMPACK from source. First, install the dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc gfortran make pkg-config $ sudo apt-get install --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
Then, download and build DMPACK from source:
$ cd /tmp/ $ curl -O -L https://github.com/dabamos/dmpack/archive/refs/heads/master.zip $ unzip master.zip $ cd dmpack-master/ $ make linux
If the host platform is 64-bit ARM (AArch64), run instead:
$ make linux_aarch64
Install the DMPACK library and programs to /opt:
$ sudo make install PREFIX=/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 on /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 runtests.sh in
/tmp/dmpack-master. You can now use any DMPACK program, for example:
$ dminfo
