HPCBIOS is an open-source, high-performance computing library. It provides a set of basic input/output services, BIOS and system management services, system configuration and monitoring services, and a set of utilities useful for debugging and testing system software. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install HPCBIOS on a Debian Latest machine.
Before proceeding, ensure that you have access to a Debian Latest machine with administrative privileges.
HPCBIOS requires a few dependencies to be present on your system. You can install them by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake uuid uuid-dev wget
This command will update your package lists and install the required dependencies.
To download and compile HPCBIOS, follow the steps below:
Download the latest version of HPCBIOS from the official website using the following command:
wget https://github.com/lanl/hpcbios/archive/refs/tags/v1.4.1.tar.gz
Replace the version number with the latest available version.
Extract the downloaded package:
tar xf v1.4.1.tar.gz
Enter the extracted directory:
cd hpcbios-1.4.1
Create a build directory:
mkdir build && cd build
Run the cmake command to configure the build process:
cmake ..
Compile the source code:
make && sudo make install
Now, HPCBIOS is installed on your system.
To verify the installation, you can run the following command:
biosinfo -v
This command will display the installed version of HPCBIOS.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install HPCBIOS on a Debian Latest machine. Now, you can start using HPCBIOS to develop high-performance computing applications.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
