How To Install libnfft3-dev on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install libnfft3-dev on Kali Linux. libnfft3-dev is development files for the NFFT library

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libnfft3-dev on Kali Linux.

What is libnfft3-dev

libnfft3-dev is:

NFFT3 is a software library written in C for computing nonequispaced fast Fourier and related transformations. In detail, NFFT3 implements:

  1. The nonequispaced fast Fourier transform (NFFT)

    • the forward transform (NFFT)
    • the adjoint transform (adjoint NFFT)

  2. Generalisations of the NFFT

    • to arbitrary knots in time and frequency domain (NNFFT)
    • to the sphere S^2 (NFSFT)
    • to the hyperbolic cross (NSFFT)
    • to real-valued data, i.e. (co)sine transforms, (NFCT, NFST)
    • to the rotation group (NFSOFT)

  3. Generalised inverses based on iterative methods, e.g. CGNR, CGNE

  4. Applications in

    • medical imaging (i) magnetic resonance imaging (ii) computerised tomography
    • summation schemes (i) fast Gauss transform (FGT) (ii) singular kernels (iii) zonal kernels
    • polar FFT, discrete Radon transform, ridgelet transform

This package provides the development files for the NFFT library.

There are three methods to install libnfft3-dev 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 libnfft3-dev Using apt-get

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

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install libnfft3-dev using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install libnfft3-dev

Install libnfft3-dev Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install libnfft3-dev using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install libnfft3-dev

Install libnfft3-dev 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 libnfft3-dev using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install libnfft3-dev
