DPDK host configuration

Hi, I am using USRP X440 connected with a host PC (Ubuntu 24.04) by a Mellanox Connectx-5 dual 100GbE ports network card. I am trying to install the DPDK following the instructions in https://kb.ettus.com/Getting_Started_with_DPDK_and_UHD. It said in Additional Host Configuration for NIC Vendors -Mellanox NICs part that I have to enable MLX5 poll mode driver library by CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_PMD=y when building DPDK. My question is that to install DPDK, I simply ran

sudo apt install dpdk dpdk-dev

In which step shall I enable the driver library and where can I find the file to edit.

 

Thank you very much.

The librte-pmd library does not seem to exist even for ubuntu 22.04, and the mlx5 driver is working for me with dpdk 21.11, so I assume installing dpdk and dpdk-dev along with the mlx5 driver is sufficient.
