Installation on Linux¶

It is recommended to verify the Quantum Origin package before installation. Verification guide can be found Package Verification.

Installing¶

Note

You may see a warning stating that the download is performed “unsandboxed as root.” This is expected when installing a local .deb file and does not indicate an error. The package will install correctly.

# Install the Quantum Origin SDK using the apt install command.
# Replace <VERSION> and <ARCH> with the desired version and architecture of your system.
sudo apt install ./libquantum_origin_sdk_<VERSION>-Release_<ARCH>.deb

Note

The NOKEY warning means the RPM VERIFYING key isn’t imported. Please follow the steps RPM Verification to import the public key.

# Install the Quantum Origin SDK using the dnf install command.
# Replace <VERSION> and <ARCH> with the desired version and architecture of your system.
sudo dnf install ./libquantum_origin_sdk-<VERSION>-Release.<ARCH>.rpm

Installed Folders and Files¶

On Linux based-platforms, the installed files are all within the top-level /usr directory.

Specifically:

Item(s)	Directory
Implementation (libraries)	/usr/lib/
Interface (header files)	/usr/include/quantum_origin/
Documents	/usr/share/doc/libquantum_origin_sdk/
Sample code	/usr/share/doc/qosdk_sample_code/

Implementation (libraries)¶

/usr/lib/libquantum_origin_sdk.so.<VERSION>
/usr/lib/libquantum_origin_sdk.so -> /usr/lib/libquantum_origin_sdk.so.<VERSION>

Interface (header files)¶

/usr/include/quantum_origin/quantum_origin_sdk_c.h

Documents¶

/usr/share/doc/libquantum_origin_sdk/LEGAL_LICENSE
/usr/share/doc/libquantum_origin_sdk/README.txt

Sample code¶

The sample code on Linux systems is located at:

/usr/share/doc/qosdk_sample_code/

Sample code - License Files¶

These files are required but are supplied separately by Quantinuum (or your vendor):

quantum_origin_config.yml
quantum_origin_license.h

Sample code - Build Scripts¶

qosdk_samples_build.sh
qosdk_samples_run.sh

Please see the Sample Code section for details of how to build the supplied sample code.

Furthermore, there is a README file in the sample_code directory which contains further information on building and executing the sample code. This is useful as a confirmation that the installation has been a success, but also as a useful starting point for ones own development or integration.
