Installing NDCTL & DAXCTL

The ndctl and daxctl utilities are used to manage the libnvdimm (non-volatile memory device) sub-system in the Linux Kernel. ndctl and daxctl are used to manage persistent memory devices and namespaces and they are required for certain Persistent Memory Development Kit (PMDK) features.

Microsoft Windows users should visit the Understand and Deploy Persistent Memory documentation.

The ndctl and daxctl utilities can be installed on Linux using either of the two options:

• Install ndctl using packages

• Install ndctl using the source code
