$ sudo dpkg -i libdaxctl1_61.2-0ubuntu1~18.04.1_amd64.deb
$ wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/385763708/libndctl6_61.2-0ubuntu1~18.04.1_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libndctl6_61.2-0ubuntu1~18.04.1_amd64.deb
$ wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/385763703/libndctl-dev_61.2-0ubuntu1~18.04.1_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libndctl-dev_61.2-0ubuntu1~18.04.1_amd64.deb
  • libdaxctl-devel (v60.1 or later)

$ sudo dpkg -i libdaxctl-dev_61.2-0ubuntu1~18.04.1_amd64.deb

Build and install

To build from source, clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/pmem/pmdk
$ cd pmdk

For a stable version, checkout a release tag:

$ git checkout tags/1.5.1

Build the PMDK using the make command at the top level:

$ make

(Optional) Installs man pages and libraries in the standard system locations:

$ sudo make install

DAX - Direct Access

The DAX (direct access) extensions to the filesystem creates PM-aware environment. Install filesystem with DAX (available today for ext4 and xfs):

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/pmem
$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/pmem0
$ sudo mount -o dax /dev/pmem0 /mnt/pmem
