Starting with version 2024.06.0,\nthe Dektec LinuxSDK includes its own DKMS installation and this specific project\nis no longer necessary.\n\n### About Dektec device drivers\n\n[Dektec](http://www.dektec.com/) is a manufacturer of PC add-on cards, USB devices,\nIP converters and software for the professional digital-television market. Their\nproducts are used for test and measurement and to build broadcast infrastructure.\n\nDektec provides device drivers for Windows and Linux. See their comprehensive\n[download](http://www.dektec.com/downloads/SDK/) page.\n\nOn Windows, WinSDK, the SDK and device drivers package, is a standard binary\ninstaller which properly installs and configures the DTAPI and the device drivers.\nThere is nothing to add.\n\n### Installing the drivers on Linux\n\nOn Linux systems, the Dektec device drivers are provided in source form only,\nas part of the LinuxSDK package. On lab or production systems where the kernel\ncan be periodically updated, dealing with drivers in source form is not very handy.\nMost Linux distros have an answer for this: DKMS, Dynamic Kernel Module Support.\nThe source code of the drivers are installed in `/usr/src` and the drivers are\nautomatically recompiled and reinstalled in case of kernel update.\n\nThe Dektec LinuxSDK package now provides its own DKMS installation. After downloading\nthe LinuxSDK archive from the [Dektec download page](http://www.dektec.com/downloads/SDK/),\nexpand it into some temporary directory. Everything is expanded under a root subdirectory\nnamed `LinuxSDK`.\n\nImportant: Before installing the drivers, verify that your system is ready for DKMS.\nOn most distros, this means installing a package named `dkms` and a few dependencies.\n\nTo install the Dektec device drivers into the DKMS build system, use the following command:\n\n```\nsudo LinuxSDK/Drivers/Install\n```\n\nThe command installs the drivers source code in `/usr/src/dektec-2024.06.0/`\n(for version `2024.06.0`) and builds the drivers for the current kernel\nin `/var/lib/dkms/dektec/2024.06.0/`. Each time the kernel will be upgraded,\nthe Dektec device drivers (and all drivers in the DKMS system) will be\nautomatically recompiled.\n\nTo remove the Dektec device drivers from the DKMS system, use the following command:\n\n```\nsudo LinuxSDK/Drivers/Uninstall\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftsduck%2Fdektec-dkms","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftsduck%2Fdektec-dkms","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftsduck%2Fdektec-dkms/lists"}
