Hello,
Did you acquaint yourself with the NUT project? There are quite a few
architecture and installation documents and README's (maybe a few too many
for people just getting started, pull requests for simple entry points are
welcome) :)
In short, you would either have it installed via packaging prepared by
your OS distribution maintainers (for `apc_modbus` in particular, you would
need at least NUT v2.8.1), or built by yourself - in case of this driver
and USB links, also building the custom libmodbus with USB capability, as
per Wiki page linked earlier. Specifically in case of this driver and
use-case, your best shot is "built by yourself" anyway, since
distributions
are not likely to ship the libmodbus with USB patches added (they are not
merged into upstream code yet).
Hope this helps,
Jim Klimov
