installation

For non ble operation there are no installation requirements.

For ble the following steps need to be followed:

For ubuntu 16.04 the standard bluez package needs to be manually upgraded using the following commands:
- sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libdbus-1-dev libudev-dev libical-dev libreadline6 libreadline6-dev
- wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/bluetooth/bluez-5.50.tar.xz
- tar xf bluez-5.50.tar.xz
- cd bluez-5.30
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
- sudo apt-get install checkinstall
For ubuntu 18.04 the standard bluez package is fine, make sure that it is installed by running:

sudo apt-get install bluez
Now make sure the correct version is installed by running

bluetoothctl --version
The version should be >=5.42
Now install gattlib by downloading and running the following .deb file:

https://github.com/labapart/gattlib/releases/download/dev/gattlib_dbus_0.2-dev_x86_64.deb
Install bluetooth dev libraries:

sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev libreadline-dev

Running is very simple:
