The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available and will also build `freeipmi.plugin`. +> ❗ In some distributions `libipmimonitoring.pc` is located in an unregistered directory. +> In that case you should find the file and link it to the standard pkg-config directory.

If you just installed the required IPMI tools, please run at least once the command `ipmimonitoring` and verify it returns sensors information. This command initialises IPMI configuration, so that the Netdata plugin will be able to work. |
