Further Prerequisites

Root User Access Rights: For installing the Silicon Software Runtime, you need the according access rights on the system. Therefore, you have to be able to either use sudo or log in as root for certain steps of the installation process.

Frame Grabber Hardware: To install the runtime components, you do not need to install a microEnable frame grabber in the system. Nevertheless, available hardware makes it a lot easier to verify if an installation has been successful (for information on how to install the frame grabber hardware, see the according section in the user manual of your frame grabber).
