Linux text-mode install

Install remotely using the textinstall.sh text-mode install script.

Procedure

  1. Download the required package from the Linaro Forge Downloads webpage.

  2. Untar the installation package and run the textinstall.sh script by using these commands:

    tar xf linaro-forge-<version>-linux-<arch>.tar

    cd linaro-forge-<version>-linux-<arch>

    ./textinstall.sh

    Note

    Replace <version> with the three or four digit version number of your installation package (for major releases: xx.x, or support releases: xx.x.x). Replace <arch> with the required architecture (aarch64, x86_64).

  3. When you are prompted, press Return to read the license, and enter the path of the installation directory. The directory must be accessible on all the nodes in your cluster.

    Note

    The default Forge installation path is /opt/linaro/forge/<version>/bin when installed by root or $HOME/linaro/forge/<version>/bin otherwise. Please add the Linaro Forge installation path to the PATH environment variable to make the Linaro Forge tools available to the console:

    export PATH=<Forge installation path>/bin:$PATH

Next steps

For details about how to run Linaro DDT, Linaro MAP, and Linaro Performance Reports, see the RELEASE-NOTES file in the install package when the installation is complete.

Time-limited evaluation licenses are available from the Linaro website: free trial licence.

Linaro Forge supports a large number of different site configurations and MPI distributions, and therefore you must ensure that you fully integrate all components into your environment. For example, propagate environment variables to remote nodes, and ensure that the tool libraries and executables are available on them.
