Below is the latest release of the LabJack Modbus Driver (LJM) for Linux x64. This includes devices with the most common AMD and Intel based processors. LJM supports T-Series and Digit devices. For other devices see Software Installer Downloads.
Download an appropriate LJM installer package from our download links above.
Navigate to the file location in which you downloaded the package from a terminal session.
Extract the package using the tar or unzip command:
Extract a .tar.gz archive: tar -zvxf [installer package name here].tar.gz
Extract a .zip archive: unzip [installer package name here].zip
Navigate (cd) into the installer directory: cd [installer package name here]
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:
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.
