VOLTTRON Prerequisites

Required Sofware: Linux

The following packages will need to be installed if they are not already:

• git
• build-essential
• python-dev
• openssl
• libssl-dev
• libevent-dev

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev openssl libssl-dev libevent-dev git

If you have an agent which requires the pyodbc package, install the following:

• freetds-bin
• unixodbc-dev

sudo apt-get install freetds-bin  unixodbc-dev

Possible issues

The /tmp directory must allow exec. This error could manifest itself during the building of gevent.

# Executing mount should have an entry like the following
mount

tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)

To change the mount you can use the following code

# remount /tmp to allow exec
sudo mount -o remount,exec /tmp

# remount /tmp to disallow exec
sudo mount -o remount,noexec /tmp
