VIPM for Linux

VIPM is now made available on Linux. You can download VIPM 2014 for Linux here.

VIPM for Linux has been tested to run on the following linux distributions:

• CentOS
• OpenSUSE
• Ubuntu
• Scientific Linux

Installation Instructions:

Copy the folder /JKI and all the contents to /usr/local
You may need root access to do this.

VIPM for Linux depends on the LabVIEW 2013 run-time engine which is provided with the distribution. It's located in the /LabVIEW2013RTE_Linux folder. You must install all the RPM files located there. If you have trouble installing the run-time engine, please contact National Instruments (http://ni.com/support). Note: If you have the LabVIEW 2013 full development system already installed on your system, then you probably don't need to install the run-time engine since you already have it installed.

VIPM 2014 works with all LabVIEW versions.

Running VIPM for Linux:

VIPM for Linux must be run with admin or root level privileges. There is no way around this. If you run VIPM as a standard user, it will not work as expected and will generate errors. To do this, navigate to the installation folder at /usr/local/JKI/VIPM and execute the following:

$ sudo ./vipm

You will be prompted for your root password. Enter the password and VIPM will launch.

VIPM is also available on Mac and Windows. See http://jki.net/vipm for more info.
