Installing SL Products without a Package Manager

After the installation of the CODESYS Control​ for Linux package, the required files are located on the Windows PC:

Copy these files to the target device.

Unpack the package:

$ ar -x codesyscontrol_linux_<Version>

Unpack the data.tar.gz file. Create a new folder for this beforehand:

$ mkdir data
$ tar -xf data.tar.gz -C data

In data/, you will now find the files which are important for the operation of the runtime system:

data

│   ├── default
│   │   └── codesyscontrol
│   ├── init.d
│   │   └── codesyscontrol
│   └── codesyscontrol
│       ├── 3S.dat
│       ├── CODESYSControl.cfg
│       └── CODESYSControl_User.cfg
├── opt
│   └── codesys
│       ├── bin
│       │   └── codesyscontrol.bin

│       │   ├── libCmpHilscherCIFX.so
│       │   └── libSysPci.so
│       └── scripts
│           ├── init-functions
│           ├── init-vars
│           ├── PlcWink.sh
│           └── rts_set_baud.sh
├── usr

    └── opt
        └── codesys
            ├── bacstac.ini
            ├── cmact_licenses
            └── .SoftContainer_CmRuntime.wbb 

Now the package manager (dpkg or ipkg) would normally copy this directory structure to the root directory of the system. This has to be done manually without a package manager:

Change to the data/ directory where the data.tar.gz file was unpacked:

$ cd data/

Copy the individual directories to the respective root directories of the target:

$ sudo cp -r etc/* /etc
$ sudo cp -r opt/* /opt
$ sudo cp -r usr/* /usr
$ sudo cp -r var/* /var

Now the package manager would perform some post-installation steps to complete the installation. Perform these steps manually:

$ sudo chmod a+rw /etc/codesyscontrol/CODESYSControl.cfg
$ sudo chmod a+rw /etc/codesyscontrol/CODESYSControl_User.cfg

If the codesysuser group does not already exist on the target device, then add it.

$ groupadd codesysuser

This group is used for the Extension API. For more information, see: Security Mechanisms

After the installation of the CODESYS Control SL package, the .deb package is saved in <User>/CODESYS Control für Linux SL/Dependency/codemeter-lite_<Version>.deb .

Also copy this .deb package to a newly created empty folder on the target system.

Unpack the Debian package.

$ ar -x codemeter-lite_<Version>.deb

The control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz, debian-binary, and also _gpgorigin files are extracted.

Unpack the data.tar.gz file into a newly created folder.

$ mkdir data
$ tar -xf data.tar.gz -C data

After that, the binaries and other files such as libraries and scripts are available under data/:

Change to the data/ directory where the data.tar.gz file was unpacked:

$ cd data/

Now copy the entire directory to the root directory of the target device:

$ sudo cp -r etc/* /etc
$ sudo cp -r lib/* /lib
$ sudo cp -r usr/* /usr
$ sudo cp -r var/* /var

Now the Codemeter package would perform some post-installation steps to complete the installation. Perform these steps manually:

$ sudo udevadm trigger -vn --subsystem-match=usb --attr-match=idVendor=064f | xargs -rn1 -d\\n udevadm trigger -b
$ sudo mkdir -p "/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/"
$ sudo ln -sT /lib/systemd/system/codemeter.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/codemeter.service

Now you need to set up the Codemeter service with the following command (start as root):

CodemeterLin -x

On the Windows PC, the package is stored in <user>/CODESYS Edge Gateway for Linux/Delivery/codesysedge_edgeamd64_<Version>.deb.

Copy the Debian package to a new, empty folder on the target device.

Unpack the Debian package:

$ ar -x codesysedge_edgeamd64_<Version>.deb

The files control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz and debian-binary are extracted.

Unpack the data.tar.gz file into a newly created folder:

$ mkdir data
$ tar -xf data.tar.gz -C data

After that, the binaries and other files such as libraries and scripts are available under data/:

data
├── etc
│   ├── default
│   │   └── codesysedge
│   ├── init.d
│   │   └── codesysedge

Change to the data/ directory where the data.tar.gz file was unpacked:

$ cd data/

Now copy the entire directory to the root directory of the target device:

$ sudo cp -r etc/* /etc
$ sudo cp -r opt/* /opt
$ sudo cp -r usr/* /usr
$ sudo cp -r var/* /var

Perform the post-processing steps of the package manager again:

$ chmod a+rw /etc/codesysedge/Gateway.cfg
$ chmod a+rw /etc/codesysedge/Gateway_User.cfg
