Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

  1. Download an appropriate LJM installer package from our download links above.

  2. Navigate to the file location in which you downloaded the package from a terminal session.

  3. Extract the package using the tar or unzip command:

    1. Extract a .tar.gz archive: tar -zvxf [installer package name here].tar.gz

    2. Extract a .zip archive: unzip [installer package name here].zip

  4. Navigate (cd) into the installer directory: cd [installer package name here]

  5. Run the install script with sudo: sudo ./labjack_ljm_installer.run

Optional Installer Arguments

The LJM Linux Installers are makeself archives and therefore support the makeself arguments. One useful set of arguments is --noexec --target <targetDir> which allows you to extract the archive contents to targetDir for analysis:

sudo ./labjack_ljm_installer.run --noexec --target <targetDir>

Optional Installer Setup Script Arguments

Arguments can be passed to the underlying LabJack setup script by adding a -- construct before any setup script arguments. The following setup script arguments are supported:

  • --with-kipling: Install Kipling (Default).

  • --without-kipling: Don't install Kipling.

  • --restart-device-rules: Restart the udev device rules. (Default).

  • --no-restart-device-rules: Don't restart the udev device rules. This is useful for Docker containers.

  • --remove-extracted: Remove the extracted folder. (Default).

  • --no-remove-extracted: Don't remove the extracted folder.

Example:

Install without Kipling.

sudo ./labjack_ljm_installer.run -- --without-kipling
