Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and I need to install NI-VISA.
But according to
https://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/378353a.html#install
NI-VISA is not available for .deb-based linux distributions.
I 'd like to know if there is any way to install NI-VISA on Ubuntu 18.04?

I followed the steps as described in
https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-linux-device-drivers.html
and
http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/54754/en/
I downloaded NI Linux Device Drivers version 2020.
After installing the repository addon and refreshing the package list, the following cmd
sudo apt install ni-visa
raises error:
E: Unable to locate package ni-visa
Indeed, runing
apt-cache search ni- | grep visa
gives only
python-pyvisa-py - Backend that implements a large part of the VISA in pure Python
python3-pyvisa-py - Backend that implements a large part of the VISA in pure Python 3
However, according to
https://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/378353a.html
the driver's name is ni-visa. I'm not sure what is wrong?
