+==== Auto-load MIC-3753 Driver ====
+  - symlink the drivers into the kernel directory <code>
+sudo ln -s /opt/lvisf/src/MIC3753/linux_driver_source_3.2.7.0_64bit/drivers/bin/*.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/misc/

+  - add to our startup script **/etc/sysconfig/modules/lvisf.modules**
+    - modify the file <code>
+sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/modules/lvisf.modules
+</code>
+    - add the following <code>
+# start the MIC-3753 drivers
+/sbin/modprobe biokernbase
+/sbin/modprobe bio1753
+</code>
+==== Auto-load Plx9030 Driver ====
+**NOTE: (in lieu of step 2 below)** I had this not work when I manually edited it the first time.  A copy of the file is in the repository, you could just copy that file in:
+<code>
+sudo cp /opt/lvisf/src/lvisF/scripts/lvisf.modules /etc/sysconfig/modules/lvisf.modules
+</code>
+  - symlink the driver into the kernel so it will come up on boot <code>
+sudo ln -s /opt/lvisf/src/PLX/PlxSdk/Driver/Source.Plx9000/Output/Plx9030.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/misc/</code>

+</code>
+    - add the following <code>
+# start the Plx9030 syncclock32 driver
+/sbin/modprobe Plx9030</code>
+  - symbolically link in our **rc.local** into **/etc/rc.local**
+    - remove the original <code>
+# remove the symlink
+sudo rm /etc/rc.local
+# move the original to something else
+sudo mv /etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.local_orig
+</code>
+    - link in the **lvisf** version <code>
+sudo ln -s /opt/lvisf/src/lvisF/scripts/rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.local
+sudo ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.local

+===== Installing Boost Library =====
+The **boost** C++ library is required for the data system.  The tarball of the 1.6.2 version is in the repository.  Or download the latest from [[http://www.boost.org/users/download/]].  Here is the latest as of 2018.01.04 [[https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.66.0/source/boost_1_66_0.tar.bz2]]
+  - Uncompress the tar into **/opt** <code>
+cd /opt
+sudo tar -jxvf /opt/lvisf/src/tars/boost_1_62_0.tar.bz2
+</code>
+  - Symbolically link to a generic boost directory <code>
+sudo ln -s /opt/boost_1_62_0 /opt/boost
+</code>
+  - Chown it all to **lvis** user <code>
+sudo chown -R lvis:lvis /opt/boost_1_62_0
+</code>
+  - Set the environment variable for the **BOOST_ROOT** variable
+    - Edit the file /home/lvis/.bash_profile <code>
+nano /home/lvis/.bash_profile
+</code>
+    - Add the line <code>
+# Add the boost root directory
+export BOOST_ROOT=/opt/boost
+</code>
+    - Run our profile to load this variable <code>
+source /home/lvis/.bash_profile
+</code>
+  - Compile the **boost** libraries <code>
+cd /opt/boost
+./bootstrap.sh
+./b2
+</code>
+===== Installing USB Temperature Library =====
+Follow the instructions below to compile the USB temperature monitoring device libraries required.
