Solved!

I installed ni-rio driver on Ubuntu20.04. 
The installation appears to have been successful.

But I can't find the ni-rio and ni-rio-server files.
Where are ni-rio or ni-rio-server files/folders?

How to install ni-rio driver on ubuntu?

I tried to install the ni-rio-driver using NILinux2024Q3DeviceDrivers.zip.

 

install ni-rio

$ sudo apt install ./ni-ubuntu2004-drivers-2024Q3.deb
$ sudo apt install ./ni-ubuntu2004-drivers-stream.deb
$ sudo apt install ni-rio*

apt list ni-rio

$ apt list ni-rio*

This result of "apt list ni-rio" shows that ni-rio is installed.

But I can't find the ni-rio and ni-rio-server files.
Where are ni-rio or ni-rio-server files/folders?

The server is /usr/bin/nirioserver.  The ini file is in /var/lib/nirio/ini.

Hi, GabeJ

 

Thank you, for your help.

I didn't notice because I was only looking at old information.

You're welcome.  Newer releases don't seem to have readmes, so sometimes the right info is hard to find.
