Requirements

Since the TPM Manager is based entirely on the Qt UI framework, corresponding Qt header and library files should be in the library path. On some Linux distributions you have to install the developer version of Qt to have the header files used by TPM Manager.

Requirements to build the TPM Manager:

• Qt5 (Builds under 5.15.3) (http://qt.io)
• TrouSerS (http://trousers.sourceforge.net/)

Install the following packages on a Debian-based Linux, e.g., Ubuntu Linux:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libtspi-dev qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools

For a Fedora based Linux install the following packages:

sudo dnf install make automake gcc gcc-c++ qt5-qtbase-devel trousers-devel

To use the features of the TPM Manager you need a running TrouSerS daemon.

Building

This package is built using Qt's qmake. qmake automatically generates a makefile from the Qt project file.

qmake-qt5 (or simply: qmake)
make

Installation

Make will create the TPM Manager application binary in the bin/ subdirectory. You can start TPM Manager right from the /bin subdirectory or you can run install to install TPM Manager in default binary path of your system.

# install to /usr/local/bin
sudo install bin/tpmmanager /usr/local/bin

Usage

To start TPM Manager, type tpmmanager on your terminal or simply double-click the application icon in your file manager. You may also add TPM Manager to your Application starter menu, e.g., in Gnome or KDE.
