National Instruments on Ubuntu












2















National Instruments have been Windows only for a while. Now you can get drivers(2018) and libraries(1,2) for Linux. Unfortunately, they only support Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop + Workstation 6.x, 7.x
CentOS 7.x OpenSUSE Leap 42.2, 42.3 and not Ubuntu.



One can download all .rpm files and using alien convert them to .deb and install them. However, there are several problems with that. One of them is trying to overwrite '/bin/cpio', which is also in package cpio see example below.



sudo dpkg -i --force-depends nivisa_15.0.0-2_all.deb 
(Reading database ... 138232 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack nivisa_15.0.0-2_all.deb ...
Unpacking nivisa (15.0.0-2) ...
dpkg: error processing archive nivisa_15.0.0-2_all.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/bin/cpio', which is also in package cpio 2.12+dfsg-6
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
nivisa_15.0.0-2_all.deb


The possible solution to trying to overwrite '/bin/cpio', which is also in package cpio is here however, CPIO is an import library and here what I got when I tried to remove it.



sudo dpkg -P cpio
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of cpio:
ubuntu-standard depends on cpio.
initramfs-tools-core depends on cpio.
alien depends on cpio.


The bigger question is: Has anyone tried to install NI packages on Ubuntu?
