VIMBA ships as a tarball. Uncompress the archive with the command
tar -xf
./AVTVimba.tgz
to a directory you have writing privileges for. This creates a
directory named
AVTVimba
.
•
Navigate to
AVTVimba/AVTGigETL
and execute the shell script
Install.sh
with root privileges (e.g.
sudo ./Install.sh
).
•
VIMBA Viewer is now ready to use and it can be found in
Vimba/Viewer/Bin
.
Note
VIMBA Viewer must be run with root privileges (e.g.
sudo -E ./VimbaViewer)
if you want to change the IP
configuration of a camera in a foreign subnet. Running
it as root user instead of using
sudo -E
requires you to
set the environment variables manually.
