How To Install libsuperlu5 on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libsuperlu5 on Kali Linux.
What is libsuperlu5
libsuperlu5 is:
SuperLU is a general purpose library for the direct solution of large, sparse, nonsymmetric systems of linear equations on high performance machines.
The library is written in C and is callable from either C or Fortran. The library routines will perform an LU decomposition with partial pivoting and triangular system solves through forward and back substitution. The LU factorization routines can handle non-square matrices but the triangular solves are performed only for square matrices. The matrix columns may be preordered (before factorization) either through library or user supplied routines. This preordering for sparsity is completely separate from the factorization. Working precision iterative refinement subroutines are provided for improved backward stability. Routines are also provided to equilibrate the system, estimate the condition number, calculate the relative backward error, and estimate error bounds for the refined solutions.
This package contains the SuperLU shared library.
There are three methods to install libsuperlu5 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 libsuperlu5 Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get updateAfter updating apt database, We can install libsuperlu5 using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install libsuperlu5Install libsuperlu5 Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt updateAfter updating apt database, We can install libsuperlu5 using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install libsuperlu5Install libsuperlu5 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 updateAfter updating apt database, We can install libsuperlu5 using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install libsuperlu5How To Uninstall libsuperlu5 on Kali Linux
To uninstall only the libsuperlu5 package we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove libsuperlu5Uninstall libsuperlu5 And Its Dependencies
To uninstall libsuperlu5 and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove libsuperlu5Remove libsuperlu5 Configurations and Data
