Using the Installation Script
Read here how to install the Silicon Software Runtime under Linux using the installation script via shell.
Using the call parameters of the installation script |

If you use the shell script as described below, you will have to enter some installationrelevant data during installation. Alternatively, you can use the according call parameters of the installation script. Use the command [prompt] sudo ./[NameOfRuntimeInstallerFile] -h to get an overview listing all available installation parameters, together with their preset default values. The order in which you enter the parameters is of no relevance. |
To install the Silicon Software Runtime using the shell script in the default location:
- Boot the system.
- Go to the directory that contains the Silicon Software Runtime installer.
Depending on the system you are using (32 or 64 bit), you will have been provided with one of these two installer files:
- siso-rt5-5.6.x-linux-amd64-installer.sh , or
- siso-rt5-5.6.x-linux-ia32-installer.sh
- Enter either
[prompt] sudo ./siso-rt5-5.6.x-linux-amd64-installer.sh
or
[prompt] sudo ./siso-rt5-5.6.x-linux-ia32-installer.sh
Access Rights
- Make sure you have full administrative access to the folder where you want to install the runtime in (e.g., as a root user). You must be able to execute files within this installation folder.
- Make sure the file can be executed. If not, use the
chmod
command. You can change access permissions so that they correspond to the required setting by using thechmod
command:sudo chmod +x [NameOfRuntimeInstallerFile]
This will install into the default location
/opt/SiliconSoftware
.
Alternatively, if you want to install the Silicon Software Runtime in a different location:
- Use the
-d
command to specify the directory where you want to install the Silicon Software runtime in (without a slash at the end of the path):
[prompt] ./[NameOfRuntimeInstallerFile] -d [PathToTargetDirectory]
Now, the target directory you specified is displayed.
- Confirm the target directory you have chosen by writing
yes
(you have to write the whole word, to write just an y will not be enough).

Alternatively to the last steps, you can also specify an installation directory and directly affirm your choice. To do so, add an

- Depending on where you install the Silicon Software Runtime, you might need to elevate the access rights by calling the installer with
sudo
.
Now, the installation process is started:
The installer file will be unzipped into the directory you specified.
- The extracted files will be modified in so far as absolute paths are being set.
- After successful installation, the absolute paths are displayed in the shell.
If you want to read the full installation log:
- Go to the installation directory (using the
cd
command) and enter
[prompt] cat install.log.txt
Now, the content of the installation log file install.log.txt is displayed in the shell.
