Installing the Matrox software
Installing the Matrox software installation package
The software installation package ( DSX-TopologyUtils.run ) will be installed in
/opt/MatroxVideo/DSX.utils and contains the Matrox DSX drivers. Any missing
dependencies will be reported to you before performing the install. Please install any
missing packages to continue.
¦ Note You must install libdispatch, before installing the software installation
package. For more details, see “Installing libdispatch” on page 18 .
°
To install the software installation package:
1 Before installing the software installation package, you must copy the .run file
locally to your computer.
2
After copying the .run file, make sure that the software installation package is
executable by checking that the execute bit is on using your graphical file
manager or setting it on the Terminal (
chmod +x <filename>
).
3 To install the software installation package, do one of the following:
a
For a typical installation, run the installer with sudo (for example,
sudo ./DSX-TopologyUtils.run
), or run it while logged in as the root
user.
b For a silent mode installation, run the installer with sudo or while logged in as
the root user, and add the suffix
-- -quiet or -- -q (for example,
sudo ./DSX-TopologyUtils.run -- -quiet ). All prompts and
messages are bypassed, and your system is automatically restarted if needed.
Log messages, including errors about dependencies, will appear in the
execution trace.
c
For a trial run installation that will exit before the actual installation begins (or
if errors are found), run the installer with the suffix
-- -validate
or
-- -v
(for example,
sudo ./DSX-TopologyUtils.run -- -validate
).
This trial run allows you to validate the installation package without installing
the software. You may see warning and/or error messages in the execution log.
To validate the trial run installation in silent mode (that is, without prompts or
messages), use the following command:
sudo ./DSX-TopologyUtils.run --noprogress -- -quiet -v
Remarks
• If you update your Linux kernel, you must reinstall DSX-TopologyUtils in order
to rebuild the Matrox kernel drivers with the newer OS kernel distribution.
• In order to update your software installation software to a later version, you must
first uninstall the old version as explained in “Uninstalling the Matrox software .”
