1. Please start a console and change into a directory e.g.
/home/username/workspace
cd /home/username/workspace
2. Copy the install script and the hardware driver to the workspace directory (e.g. from a driver CD or from the
website):
~/workspace$ cp /media/cdrom/drv/Linux/install_mvHYPERION.sh /
. && cp /media/cdrom/drv/Linux/mvHYPERION-x86_ABI2-2.14.0.tgz -t ./
3. Run the install script:
~/workspace$ ./install_mvHYPERION.sh
Note
The install script has to be executable. So please check the rights of the file.
During installation, the script will ask, if it should build all tools and samples.
You may need to enable the execute flag with
chmod a+x install_mvHYPERION.sh
The installation script checks the different packages and installs them with the respective standard packages man-
ager (
apt-get
) if necessary.
Note
The installation script (
"install_mvHYPERION.sh"
) and the archive (
"mvHYPERION-x86_AB
←
-
I2-n.n.n.tgz"
) must reside in the same directory. Nothing is written to this directory during script execu-
tion, so no write access to the directory is needed in order to execute the script.
You need Internet access in case one or more of the packages on which the GenICam™ libs depend are not yet
installed on your system. In this case, the script will install these packages, and for that, Internet access is required.
The script takes two arguments, both of which are optional:
1. target directory name
2. version
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
"/."
.
Note
This directory is only used for the files that are
run time
required.
The files required at
compile time
are always installed in
"$HOME/mvimpact-acquire-n.n.n"
. The script
also creates a convenient softlink to this directory:
mvimpact-acquire -> mvIMPACT_acquire-2.3.2
If this argument is not specified, or is
"."
, the driver will be placed in the current working directory.
The
version
argument is entirely optional. If no version is specified, the most recent
mvHYPERION-x86_AB
←
-
I2-n.n.n.tgz
found in the current directory will be installed.
If you have also installed tools and samples, you will find them in
apps
. Just change into the subdirectory, for
example,
"apps/mvPropView/x86"
you can find the camera setup tool
wxPropView
(p.
). You can find
it in subdirectory
"/opt/mvIMPACT_Acquire/apps/mvPropView/x86"
. However, you do not always
have to start the tool from this folder. The installer script has created symbolic links so that it is enough to type in
wxPropView
throughout the system to start
wxPropView
(p.
The mvIMPACT Acquire libraries look for camera definition files in the directory
"mvimpact-acquire/camerafiles"
so you will need to create these directories as the
"root"
user using
"mkdir -p ./mvimpact-acquire/camerafiles"
.
