With the package manager

To install libxlio using the default package managers for different Linux distributions, you can follow these steps:

For Debian-based distributions (e.g., Ubuntu):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libxlio

For Red Hat-based distributions (e.g., CentOS, Fedora):

sudo yum install libxlio

For distributions that use DNF (e.g., Fedora):

sudo dnf install libxlio

📝 Note: The libxlio package availability depends on the package manager mirrors configured on your system.

With binary package

For distributions that use dpkg (e.g., Debian):

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/libxlio.deb

Please note that you may need administrative privileges (use sudo) to install packages system-wide. Replace /path/to/libxlio.deb with the actual path to the libxlio package file if you are using dpkg to install.

For RPM-based distributions (e.g., CentOS, Fedora):

sudo rpm -ivh /path/to/libxlio.rpm

Replace /path/to/libxlio.rpm with the actual path to the libxlio RPM package file. The -ivh flags are used to install the package with verbose output (v), show progress (h), and install it or upgrade it if already installed (i).
