IPMCTL Linux Prerequisites
ipmctl requires libsafec as a dependency.
libsafec
libsafec is available as a package in the Fedora package repository. For other Linux
distributions, it is available as a separate downloadable package for local installation:
• RHEL/CentOS EPEL 7 packages can be found at
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jhli/safeclib/.
• OpenSUSE/SLES packages can be found at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jhli/safeclib.
• Ubuntu packages can be found at
https://launchpad.net/~jhli/+archive/ubuntu/libsafec.
Alternately, when compiling ipmctl from source code, use the -DSAFECLIB_SRC_
DOWNLOAD_AND_STATIC_LINK=ON option to download sources and statically link to
safeclib.
IPMCTL Linux Packages
As a vendor-specific utility, it is not included in most Linux distribution package
repositories other than Fedora. EPEL7 packages can be found at https://copr.
fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jhli/ipmctl. OpenSUSE and SLES packages can be
found at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jhli/ipmctl.
IPMCTL for Microsoft Windows
The latest Windows EXE binary for ipmctl can be downloaded from the “Releases”
section of the GitHub project page (https://github.com/intel/ipmctl/releases) as
shown in Figure C-1.
