.KVASD Installation
All Linux users must install a companion program called +kvasd+, an
implementation of the the Koetter-Vardy algebraic soft-decision
decoder for the Reed Solomon (63,12) code. Users of Ubuntu and other
Debian-based sysyems can install +kvasd+ by executing the following
commands in a terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ki7mt/kvasd-installer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kvasd-installer
kvasd-installer
The final screen of the installer should include the line
KVASD version 1.12 -- Decode test *** PASSED ***
which should also be displayed if the command
kvasd -v
is executed after installation is complete.
You can install +kvasd+ on most Linux systems (including ARM-based
systems) by downloading, unpacking, and executing the simple tools
packaged in the +kvasd-installer+ script. Your system will need the
following standard tools already installed:
autoconf awk bash dialog libgfortran svn
Download the {kvasd_installer} tarfile to a conveniant directory, then
execute the following commands in a terminal there:
tar xzf kvasd-installer-1.12.14.tar.gz
cd kvasd-installer-1.12.14
./autogen.sh
sudo make install
kvasd-installer
As described above, the final screen of the installer should include
the line
KVASD version 1.12 -- Decode test *** PASSED ***
