1 # Ubuntu Linux {#ubuntu}
6 This version of Linux has **x64/AMD64 Support Only**. Contact Galil if another version
7 is required for an application.
9 See the \link installation \endlink page for supported versions.
13 ###Install Galil's public certificate
15 $ wget http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/ubuntu/$(lsb_release -r -s)/GALIL-PUB-KEY
16 # apt-key add GALIL-PUB-KEY
18 ###Get Galil's apt sources list
20 # wget http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/ubuntu/$(lsb_release -r -s)/galil.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/galil.list
27 # apt-get install gclib
29 #### Install gcaps on 16.04 and better (optional)
31 Following Linux's daemon naming conventions, gcaps is called *gcapsd* on Ubuntu.
32 See the \link gcaps \endlink documentation for more information.
34 # apt-get install gcapsd
36 Verify that the systemd unit is running.
38 $ systemctl is-active gcapsd
43 If the packages need to be removed from the system, the following commands may be used.
47 # apt-get remove gclib
51 # apt-get remove gcapsd
53 ##Serial Ports and USB
54 If access to the serial ports or USB (e.g. DMC-4103) is desired through gclib, the following will provide steps to join the correct access group. If using USB, be sure the controller is powered and the usb is plugged in before beginning.
56 ###Determine group with access
58 $ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/ttyS*
59 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 64 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS0
60 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 65 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS1
61 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 66 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS2
62 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 67 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS3
63 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 188, 0 Mar 6 11:08 /dev/ttyUSB0
65 In the above listing, **dialout** is the group that needs to be joined. **uucp** is another common group that may be listed.
67 ###Add the desired *username* to the group.
69 $ sudo gpasswd -a username dialout
70 [sudo] password for username:
71 Adding user username to group dialout
73 Log out and back in for change to take effect.
76 username wheel dialout
78 gclib can now connect to serial and usb devices from user *username*.
81 If using a Galil PCI controller, the PCI driver must be installed.
83 ###Extract source and build driver
85 $ tar -xf /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclib_pci.tar.gz
88 ###Copy module and add to kernel
90 $ sudo cp galilpci.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
92 $ sudo modprobe galilpci
94 ###Add galil group for access to PCI
96 $ sudo groupadd -f -K GID_MIN=100 -K GID_MAX=499 galil
97 $ sudo cp 90-galilpci.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
98 $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
99 $ sudo udevadm trigger
100 $ sudo usermod -a -G galil username #exchange "username" with actual user's name
102 Logout and back in. The PCI hardware is now available for access.
105 crw-rw---- 1 root galil 10, 56 Jun 9 11:07 /dev/galilpci0
106 $ echo -e "\x12\x16\r" > /dev/galilpci0
