Zixi Broadcaster expects the following Linux packages to be installed on RHEL 7 or equivalent:

# yum-utils net-tools wget tar ntp network-scripts telnet traceroute 

Zixi Broadcaster expects the following Linux packages to be installed on RHEL 9 or equivalent:

# dnf-utils net-tools wget tar ntp telnet traceroute initscripts numactl ipcalc

These are RHEL 7 package names; it may be necessary to determine equivalent package names if another OS is being used.

Network config

Zixi Broadcaster is designed to allow the user to configure networking configs using capabilities provided by the network-scripts package.  If the OS includes the network-scripts package (RHEL/CentOS 7), it should be installed and the NetworkManager package should be removed.  If the OS does not include the network-scripts package (RHEL/CentOS 8 and later), then NetworkManager should be installed.  In the latter case, Zixi Broadcaster will not have full capability to modify network configs, as show in the image below, and the user must do that through the OS command line.
