Software Setup Instructions

Setup on Linux

We don't support hardware devices on Linux (unless you implement your own device adapters), so this is mostly usefull for running the simulation mode and thus training users to use the control software...

Preliminaries

Make sure to have a recent version of Linux, preferably Ubuntu (22.04.1 LTS).

You can use this command to check the version:

lsb_release -a

Make sure that your graphics card drivers are correctly installed. We use OpenCL for some of the functionalities so make sure that you have a recognized OpenCL device.

First, make sure that clinfo is installed:

sudo apt install clinfo

then query the list of devices:

clinfo --list

We will also need to have the blosc library installed on the system:

sudo apt install libblosc-dev
