Hello, Did you acquaint yourself with the NUT project? There are quite a few architecture and installation documents and README's (maybe a few too many for people just getting started, pull requests for simple entry points are welcome) :)
In short, you would either have it installed via packaging prepared by your OS distribution maintainers (for `apc_modbus` in particular, you would need at least NUT v2.8.1), or built by yourself - in case of this driver and USB links, also building the custom libmodbus with USB capability, as per Wiki page linked earlier. Specifically in case of this driver and use-case, your best shot is "built by yourself" anyway, since distributions are not likely to ship the libmodbus with USB patches added (they are not merged into upstream code yet). Hope this helps, Jim Klimov On Sun, Dec 10, 2023 at 3:48 PM James Parascand <mrparasc...@gmail.com> wrote: > where can I download apc_modbus? > Also where do I install the driver? > > Thanks > > On Sun, Dec 10, 2023 at 6:23 AM Jim Klimov <jimklimov+...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Cheers, >> >> The current situation is a bit of a moving target - for USB devices >> you'd need to custom build a `libmodbus` and then NUT against it.
