SenseCom on GNU/Linux

Follow these steps to quickly set up and run SenseCom on GNU/Linux:

1. First, obtain the SenseCom binaries from its GitHub repository.

2. Extract the SenseCom .zip file to a location on your computer.

$ unzip SenseCom-main.zip -d /some/path/

3. Navigate to the SenseCom_Linux_Latest folder containing the SenseCom binaries for GNU/Linux:

$ cd /some/path/SenseCom-main/Linux/SenseCom_Linux_Latest/

4. List the files and check the executable permissions for the main SenseCom binary, SenseCom.x86_64:

$ ls -ahl

total 20M
drwxr-xr-x 3 mamadou mamadou   5 Apr 10 11:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 mamadou mamadou   5 Apr 10 11:24 ..
drwxr-xr-x 7 mamadou mamadou  34 Apr 10 11:24 SenseCom_Data
-rw-r--r-- 1 mamadou mamadou 15K Apr 10 11:24 SenseCom.x86_64
-rw-r--r-- 1 mamadou mamadou 33M Apr 10 11:24 UnityPlayer.so

5. As seen above the SenseCom.x86_64 binary does not have the executable permission. Run the following command to set the executable permission for all users:

$ chmod a+x SenseCom.x86_64

6. Veirfy the executable permission has been set on SenseCom.x86_64:

$ ls -l SenseCom.x86_64

-rwxr-xr-x 1 mamadou mamadou 14720 Apr 10 11:24 SenseCom.x86_64

7. Time to run the SenseCom executable:

$ ./SenseCom.x86_64
