Install DAQmx driver on Debian

Hey, not sure if here is the correct place to ask, but is it possible to have DAQmx installed on the Debian system?

I saw the DAQmx driver website, it says support Linux system but did not list Debian. But still I managed to run "sudo apt install ./*.deb" and put the .deb files on the system though.

 

When I try to use the Python API to access the devices: 

"import nidaqmx

with nidaqmx.Task() as task:
print(nidaqmx.system.System.local().devices)

"

It gives me error: DaqNotFoundError: Could not find an installation of NI-DAQmx. Please ensure that NI-DAQmx is installed on this machine or contact National Instruments for support.

Is there any way I can work around to get it to work? My ultimate goal is to use this Debian device to access the DAQ-9185 and read the accelerometer.

 

Any advice can help!

None of the NI software supports Debian. There is no way to work around this. You might be able to install it, but it has not been validated and might not behave correctly.

You should only install it in a supported OS. See NI-DAQmx 2023 Q3 for Linux/x86 64-bit Architecture Readme
