How to Install HPCBIOS on Void Linux

HPCBIOS is an open-source project designed to improve the scalability and performance of high-performance computing (HPC) systems. HPCBIOS provides a library of optimized BIOS and firmware settings that can be used to configure HPC systems for maximum performance.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to install HPCBIOS on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with this tutorial, you must have the following:

A system running Void Linux
Root access or user with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing HPCBIOS, you need to install some dependencies required by HPCBIOS. You can install them using the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libxml2-utils libxslt-python
