Issue Details

Why after installing NI-SWITCH in Linux, no example code is found?

Solution

The installation of NI‑SWITCH does not include the example module by default. To access the examples, you must install the additional package ni-switch-devel separately.

You can verify whether the required package is installed by running:

apt list --installed | grep ni-switch-devel

If the package is not installed, use the following command to install it:

sudo apt install ni-switch-devel
