Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libitsol1 on Kali Linux.

What is libitsol1

libitsol1 is:

ITSOL is a library of iterative solvers for general sparse linear systems of equations. ITSOL can be viewed as an extension of the itsol module in SPARSKIT. It is written in C and offers a selection of recently developed preconditioners. The preconditioner suite includes:

  • ILUK (ILU preconditioner with level of fill)
  • ILUT (ILU preconditioner with threshold)
  • ILUC (Crout version of ILUT)
  • VBILUK (variable block preconditioner with level of fill - with automatic block detection)
  • VBILUT (variable block preconditioner with threshold - with automatic block detection)
  • ARMS (Algebraic Recursive Multilevel Solvers – includes actually several methods - In particular the standard ARMS and the ddPQ version which uses nonsymmetric permutations)

Note that ITSOL is a scalar package. You may find parallel implementations of some of the preconditioners listed above in pARMS.

There are three methods to install libitsol1 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 libitsol1 Using apt-get

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install libitsol1 using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install libitsol1

Install libitsol1 Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install libitsol1 using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install libitsol1

Install libitsol1 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 libitsol1 using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install libitsol1

How To Uninstall libitsol1 on Kali Linux
