The following example explains the installation process for the x86_64 package. The installation process for
other packages will work almost identical except different names as mentioned in the previous table.
• Please start a console and change into the directory where the installation script and the installation package
are located e.g. /home/username/Downloads :
cd /home/username/Downloads
Note
If root permissions are needed, the script will ask for the permissions. There is no need to call it
with root permissions.
• You might need to enable the execute flag with:
chmod a+x install_mvGenTL_Acquire.sh
• Run the install script:
./install_mvGenTL_Acquire.sh
During installation the script will ask, if it should build all tools and samples.
Note
The installation scripts is developed for Ubuntu/Debian and SUSE Linux based distributions. On other
distributions some features of the installation script may or may not work. Get in touch with us if you
encounter any problems!
The installation script checks for package dependencies described above and installs them with the respective
standard package manager (e.g. apt-get) if necessary. So an Internet connection is recommended.
Note
The installation script (install_mvBlueFOX.sh) and the archive (mvBlueFOX x86_64_ABI2 n.←-
n.n.tgz) must reside in the same directory. Nothing is written to this directory during script execution, so
no write access to the directory is needed in order to execute the script.
The script supports various arguments, which allow to customize the installation, the desired functionalities and the
installation process itself. All arguments are optional:
Argument Function
-h or -help Display the help.
-p or -path Define a custom installation directory.
-u or -unattended Unattended installation with default settings. By using this parameter you explicitly
accept the EULA.
-m or -minimal Minimal installation. No tools or samples will be built, and no automatic configuration
and/or optimizations will be done. By using this parameter you explicitly accept the
EULA.
The target directory name specifies where to place the driver. If the directory does not yet exist, it will be created.
The path can be either absolute or relative; i.e. the name may but need not start with / .
If no path is specified, the package will be installed to /opt/mvIMPACT_Acquire.
