How To Install libfec0 on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install libfec0 on Kali Linux. libfec0 is forward error correction (FEC) algorithms

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libfec0 on Kali Linux.

What is libfec0

libfec0 is:

This package provides a set of functions that implement several popular forward error correction (FEC) algorithms and several low-level routines useful in modems implemented with digital signal processing (DSP).

The following routines are provided:

  1. Viterbi decoders for the following convolutional codes: r=1/2 k=7 (“Voyager” code, now a widely used industry standard) r=1/2 k=9 (Used on the IS-95 CDMA forward link) r=1/6 k=15 (“Cassini” code, used by several NASA/JPL deep space missions)
  2. Reed-Solomon encoders and decoders for any user-specified code.
  3. Optimized encoder and decoder for the CCSDS-standard (255,223) Reed-Solomon code, with and without the CCSDS-standard “dual basis” symbol representation.
  4. Compute dot product between a 16-bit buffer and a set of 16-bit coefficients. This is the basic DSP primitive for digital filtering and correlation.
  5. Compute sum of squares of a buffer of 16-bit signed integers. This is useful in DSP for finding the total energy in a signal.
  6. Find peak value in a buffer of 16-bit signed integers, useful for scaling a signal to prevent overflow.

This package automatically makes use of various SIMD (Single Instruction stream, Multiple Data stream) instruction sets, when available: MMX, SSE and SSE2 on the IA-32 (Intel) architecture, and Altivec on the PowerPC G4 and G5 used by Power Macintoshes.

There are three methods to install libfec0 on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install libfec0 Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install libfec0 using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install libfec0

Install libfec0 Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install libfec0 using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install libfec0

Install libfec0 Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install libfec0 using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install libfec0

How To Uninstall libfec0 on Kali Linux

To uninstall only the libfec0 package we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get remove libfec0

Uninstall libfec0 And Its Dependencies

To uninstall libfec0 and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove libfec0

Remove libfec0 Configurations and Data

To remove libfec0 configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y purge libfec0

Remove libfec0 configuration, data, and all of its dependencies

We can use the following command to remove libfec0 configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge libfec0

Dependencies

libfec0 have the following dependencies:
