The SFVDDK installation package is a .tar.gz compressed file (for example, sfvddk.x.y.z_x86_64.tar.gz, where x.y.z is the version number of SFVDDK). Below are the steps to install SFVDDK on Linux:

1. Decompress the installation package to generate a directory named sfvddk.x.y.z.

tar -zxf sfvddk.x.y.z.tar.gz

2. Add the library path to the application execution environment using LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/of/sfvddk/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

You can also add the absolute path of the dynamic link library to the /etc/ld.so.conf file and run the following command to update the library cache.

sudo ldconfig -v

3. Link to GnuTLS as it is a dependency for compilation.

gcc/g++ *** -L/*...*/sfvddk/lib64 -lpthread -lhogweed -lnettle -ltasn1 -lgnutls -lnbd -lsf_disk_lib
