Installation

Requirements

Installing on an Ubuntu 22.04 system requires 3 debian packages to be installed:

  1. The dektec driver package
  2. Tsduck
  3. The dektecControl package

Installation steps

You can get the required packages from here.

After downloading, extract the tar.gz file. You should now have 3 files that need to be copied to the Ubuntu 22.04 target machine:

  • dektec-dkms_2024.04.0_all.deb
  • tsduck_3.33-3139.ubuntu22_amd64.deb
  • dekteccontrol_1.0.x-1_amd64.deb

Install these packages in the above order. As package dependencies may not be met, we have to install each in two steps:

Terminal : 

sudo dpkg -i <package file name>
sudo apt-get install -f
Note: The second command will fix up any missing dependencies if the first command fails to complete. Installation of the driver package might take some time, as the installation process includes building the driver from source code.

Test the installation

The scenarios are stored in the following directory:

Terminal : 

/opt/dektecControl

The tool can be started with the command:

Terminal : 

dektecControl
