Return to Main Menu


read the disclaimers

copy the files (download from the Main Menu)

read the Makefile and these general instructions first,

        mkdir /usr/local/include /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib
        set the permissions with mkdir or chmod

    first installation:

        make node module rabbit install load

    to update the installation:

        make Clean module rabbit install unload load

    do this once to create /dev/pmc:

        make node

    to compile the code and put it in the right places:

        make module rabbit install

    to install the /dev/pmc module:

        make load
        or, pmc_load

    to remove the module (unless it is in use):

        make unload
        or, pmc_unload

    to update the module (unless it is in use):

        make unload load

    to verify the module load

        make modcheck

    to delete non-essential files

        make clean

    to delete all files that can be rebuilt

        make Clean


There is no uninstall.  Instead, please report the problems you encountered.
To disable the software, remove the /dev/pmc module.
