How To Install libsiconos-mechanics6 on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libsiconos-mechanics6 on Kali Linux.

What is libsiconos-mechanics6

libsiconos-mechanics6 is:

Siconos is an open-source scientific software primarily targeted at modeling and simulating nonsmooth dynamical systems in C++ and in Python:

• Mechanical systems (rigid or solid) with unilateral contact and Coulomb friction and impact (nonsmooth mechanics, contact dynamics, multibody systems dynamics or granular materials).
• Switched Electrical Circuit such as electrical circuits with ideal and piecewise linear components: power converter, rectifier, Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) or Analog-to-Digital converter.
• Sliding mode control systems.
• Biology (Gene regulatory network). Other applications are found in Systems and Control (hybrid systems, differential inclusions, optimal control with state constraints), Optimization (Complementarity systems and Variational inequalities), Fluid Mechanics, and Computer Graphics.

This package contains the library for the mechanics component of Siconos.

There are three methods to install libsiconos-mechanics6 on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install libsiconos-mechanics6 Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install libsiconos-mechanics6 using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install libsiconos-mechanics6

Install libsiconos-mechanics6 Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install libsiconos-mechanics6 using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install libsiconos-mechanics6

Install libsiconos-mechanics6 Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install libsiconos-mechanics6 using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install libsiconos-mechanics6
