How to install iRODS client on ARM board

It is a little bit complex, because the iRODS source include some 64 bit packages. It could take 4 or 5 hours to install it.

git clone https://github.com/irods/irods.git

Set only 1 CPU work for it. Otherwise, it would cause some memory issue. Change MAKEJCMD="make" at line 253 of build.sh
run ./packaging/build.sh icommands
run ./external make clean
remove mysql part of the ./external Makefile
run ./external make generate
run ./packaging/build.sh icommands again.
dpkg -i --force-architecture the new file in folder of build

Use sudo su - irods to enter irods

The i-command API is here.

at server side, run ienv to show the iRODS environment.

at client side, run iinit to initialize and connect to the server. Then use iput to put a file on the server.

Server side or some clients else could use iget to get that file.

imeta add -d /tempZone/home/rods/myfile.txt AttName AttValue [AttUnits]

imeta qu -d AttName = AttValue
