NOTE: FactoryTalk Optix Runtime Tools currently supports Ubuntu 22, x64 CPUs.

The FactoryTalk Optix Runtime Tools for Ubuntu 22.04 consists of the FactoryTalk Optix Application Update Service and the FactoryTalk Optix Entitlement Command Line Interface (CLI).

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install libxcb-cursor0

cd ~/Downloads

tar xvf FactoryTalkOptixRuntimeToolsSetup_Ubuntu_22_x64_[version].Beta.tar.gz

This installation package includes two files:

The

FTOptixApplicationUpdateService.Ubuntu_22_x64.[version].sh

file, to install the Update Service.

The

FTOptixEntitlementCli.Ubuntu_22_x64.[version].sh

file, to install the Entitlement Manager.

NOTE: See Activate a Runtime entitlement on Ubuntu 22.04 devices to learn more about the entitlement activation procedure.

chmod +x FTOptixApplicationUpdateService.Ubuntu_22_x64.[version].sh

sudo ./FTOptixApplicationUpdateService.Ubuntu_22_x64.[version].sh

IMPORTANT:

If you use a Rockwell Automation driver, enter

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-bin

If you use an Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC) driver, enter

sudo apt-get install libltdl7

If you use native presentation engine in your FactoryTalk Optix Applications, enter

sudo apt-get install libevent-dev

TIP: To run the script in silent mode, add the

-s

flag:

./FTOptixApplicationUpdateService.Ubuntu_22_x64.[version].sh -s

. Silent mode is useful if you do not want to interact with the script and for various automations.

Restart Ubuntu and proceed with the entitlement activation.

NOTE: If the project includes a videoplayer, install additional packages by using the

sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav ubuntu-restricted-extras

command.
