Install LSI MegaCli .deb package on Debian/Ubuntu

Raw

unzip 8-07-14_MegaCLI.zip

cd Linux
sudo alien MegaCli-8.07.14-1.noarch.rpm

sudo dpkg -imegacli_8.07.14-2_all.deb

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -h

Found another nice thing to get rid of the ncurses symlink:
patchelf --replace-needed libncurses.so.5 libncurses.so.6 MegaCli64

This replaces the library within the binary, which removes the need for the libncurses symlink :)
