Make sure that the hash is the same as displayed here. Do not install if the hash is different!

Change file permissions to allow execution.

$chmod 0755 nsdsp_linux_arm_64.run

Start the installer as root.

$sudo ./nsdsp_linux_arm_64.run

Graphical installer will start. Follow on-screen instructions.

On some Linux distributions, you may need to use a special graphical version of "sudo" to run a graphical installer. For example, on KDE you need to use "kdesu". If you see the "No protocol specified" error, this may be because you used text mode "sudo" instead of a graphical version.

After the installation, you can run NSDSP software from your menu. It is installed into "Development" category. The exact method of launching the applications depends on your Linux distribution.

udev rules

The installer installs a rules file to allow access to the NSDSP programmers to all users. The rules apply to all devices which get plugged into your computer after the installation. However, if a device was plugged in before installation, the rules will not apply to it. To make it work, you need to unplug the device and then plug it in again.

To upgrade to newer version:

Do not uninstall the older version! Instead, download the newer version and run the installer. It will update your installation and preserve all the settings.

To uninstall:

Navigate to the directory where NSDSP Software is installed.

$cd /usr/local/NSDSP

Run the uninstaller as root.

$sudo ./uninstall
