Adalm Pluto en Debian linux

Introduction

After a complete disaster on a hard disk running DEBIAN 10.7, I uninstalled a part of the system and couldn't restore , I reinstalled a fresh Debian and restarted from scratch. No personal data were lost, because the documents end Download directories were on an extra partition Just a few logins from web pages I lost, but can recover them easily when needed.

My experiences on a complete new install of Debian Sofwares already installed:

• Balena Etcher
• Opera web brouwser
• Midnight Commander
• Angry IP Scanner

And a few utilities:

• mozo
• wget
• git

Installation of the software on a Debian 10.7 Linux laptop

IIO library

First part see:

• Make sure the following libraries are installed.

This list is maintained in the adi_update_tools.sh shell script, and can be copied/pasted to most Debian based distributions. For others - make sure they are installed, or the below steps will not work. If you are not sure how to do this - consult your distribution documentation.

file: adi_update_tools.sh

 apt-get -y install libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgtkdatabox-dev libmatio-dev libfftw3-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev bison flex libavahi-common-dev libavahi-client-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev

• build and install the libiio library, by following these instructions.[1]

Make sure you do the final

make install.

• build and install the libad9361-iio library, by following these instructions.
