How To Install libmagma-sparse2 on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install libmagma-sparse2 on Kali Linux. libmagma-sparse2 is Matrix Algebra on GPU and Multicore Architectures (solib, sparse)

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libmagma-sparse2 on Kali Linux.

What is libmagma-sparse2

libmagma-sparse2 is:

The MAGMA project aims to develop a dense linear algebra library similar to LAPACK but for heterogeneous/hybrid architectures, starting with current “Multicore+GPU” systems.

The MAGMA research is based on the idea that, to address the complex challenges of the emerging hybrid environments, optimal software solutions will themselves have to hybridize, combining the strengths of different algorithms within a single framework. Building on this idea, we aim to design linear algebra algorithms and frameworks for hybrid manycore and GPU systems that can enable applications to fully exploit the power that each of the hybrid components offers.

This package contains the shared object libmagma_sparse.so.2

There are three methods to install libmagma-sparse2 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 libmagma-sparse2 Using apt-get

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

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install libmagma-sparse2 using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install libmagma-sparse2

Install libmagma-sparse2 Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install libmagma-sparse2 using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install libmagma-sparse2

Install libmagma-sparse2 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 libmagma-sparse2 using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install libmagma-sparse2

How To Uninstall libmagma-sparse2 on Kali Linux

To uninstall only the libmagma-sparse2 package we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get remove libmagma-sparse2

Uninstall libmagma-sparse2 And Its Dependencies

To uninstall libmagma-sparse2 and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:
