- The Qualcomm Atheros <span class="application">Open Powerline Toolkit</span> is distributed using compressed tape archive files named <code class="filename">open-plc-utils-x.x.x.tar.gz</code> and <code class="filename">open-plc-utils-x.x.x.tar.bz2</code> and standard compressed archive file named <code class="filename">open-plc-utils-x.x.x.zip</code>, where <span class="emphasis"><em>x.x.x</em></span> is the version number. Archive files ending in <code class="filename">.gz</code> can be decompressed with the Linux <span class="application">gzip</span> utility. Archive files ending in <code class="filename">.bz2</code> can be decompressed with the Linux <span class="application">bzip2</span> utility. Archive files ending in <code class="filename">.zip</code> can be decompressed using the Linux <span class="application">unzip</span> utility or the Windows <span class="application">WinZip</span> utility. The contents of decompressed archives can be extracted using the Linux <span class="application">tar</span> utility. Recent versions of the Linux <span class="application">tar</span> utility allow decompression and extraction in one operation. The <span class="application">WinZip</span> or <span class="application">7-zip</span> program may be used to decompress archives and extract contents on Microsoft Windows platforms.
- </p><p>
- Some Windows network administrators enable security software that removes <code class="filename">.exe</code> and other executable files from <code class="filename">.zip</code> archives in transit or in-situ. In that case, Windows user may want to download the <code class="filename">*.tar.gz</code> archive and use a program like <span class="application">7zip</span> to unpack the archive file.
- </p><p>
- The toolkit includes source code, build scripts, documentation and pre-compiled programs for Microsoft Windows. Some third party libraries may also be included to support Microsoft platforms. Although the Microsoft Windows versions of toolkit programs are pre-compiled and ready-to-run, they are not supported because this package is designed for use on Linux platforms.
- </p><p>
- The Windows installer included in this version of the toolkit needs Microsoft .NET 1.1. Windows versions of toolkit programs that communicate with powerline devices need WinPcap 4.1.2 or later. A copy of Microsoft .NET 1.1 and WinPcap 4.1.2 is included in the <code class="filename">support</code> folder.
