Installing NDCTL and DAXCTL Packages on Linux

The ndctl and daxctl utilities are available in many Linux distribution package repositories. This approach is the easiest to use and maintain, compared with installing ndctl from source code. The daxctl utility is bundled with the ndctl packages.

1) Query the repository to confirm if the ndctl and daxctl packages are available:

Fedora 21 or earlier

yum search ndctl
yum search daxctl

Fedora 22 or later

dnf search ndctl
dnf search ndctl 

2) Install the ndctl and daxctl packages

Fedora 21 or earlier

yum install ndctl daxctl

Fedora 22 or later

dnf install ndctl daxctl
