We recommend you uninstall all Silicon Software runtime installations on your PC before you start installing the current version. |
To install the Silicon Software Runtime, you have to carry out three steps:
- Install the device driver for your frame grabber (Installing the Driver)
- Install the software components and documentation (Installing the Software Components)
- Adapt the system environment (Adapting the Environment)
Linux Distributions
The Silicon Software runtime environment is designed for machine vision applications with particular focus on durable systems.
Ubuntu with LTS support and Red Hat Enterprise Linux offera longer life cycle and a longer maintenance period than other Linux distributions. However, the Silicon Software runtime does not use a distribution-dependent implementation. It should work on other distributions as well. Implementation on one of these other distributions should be tested in a given case.
