Linux

Prerequisites

• glibc 2.16+
• x86_64 / ARM architectures
• libcurl

Installation steps:

1. Extract libraries and symbolic links from IDTECH/ folder.
2. Create file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/idtech.conf - This file should contain the path to the extracted libs directory in Step 1.
3. From the command line run sudo ldconfig.
4. Additionally, if using a NEO2 (family of devices which includes the VP6300 and VP5300) device, please copy the NEO2_devices.xml from libs/IDTECH/ folder into your project root directory. Permissions must be set for the USB device. This can be achieved by creating a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d named usb.rules - It must have the following contents: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", MODE="0666". If you don’t want to add permissions for all devices you could add the IDTech vendor ID
5. Add the %CompanyName IDTech plugin libraries as dependencies to your project.

NOTE: When running in Java, you must also set the VM option: -Xss100m
