Is there anyone that succeffully installed Labview for linux 2016 on Ubuntu 16.04?

[Michel_Gauvin]

Hello all,

I know about the supported OS. Is there anyone that succeffully installed Labview for linux 2016 on Ubuntu 16.04?

I executed the ./INSTALL as root:

>sudo su

>./INSTALL

I'm getting the following error:

./INSTALL: line 270: /media/username/2016LV-LinuxPro/bin/rpmq: No such file or directory

Is there a way to get more detail about what caused the error? I know the rpmq file exists and it is an executable.....

Thanks,

Michel

I'm not linux specialist but from what I know Ubuntu is a Debian derivative and uses .deb packages while RPM is used on Red Hat (and other NI supported distributions).

You can try to convert one format to another, but I am not sure how well that would go.

I know, this is what I'm currently trying.  Will let you know.

Hey, it worked! I have LabVIEW installed (basic functionalities):

1. Converted the following two rpm with "sudo alien *.rpm" (* = name of the file)

- labview-2016-core_16.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm TO labview-2016-core_16.0.0-2_amd64.deb

- labview-2016-exe_16.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm TO labview-2016-exe_16.0.0-2_amd64.deb

2. Installed using "sudo dpkg -i *.deb"

3. Launched labview executable from:

> cd /usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW-2016-64

>./labview

I will keep installing and update this thread with new information.

Hi Michel,

Where did you find the .rpm package? I can't find it on the NI website at all.

Cheers

It's not available on the website.

You need to buy it, there is no evaluation version.

I tried to convert these NI Labview for Linux installation RPM files to debian files and I keep getting an error from alien saying failed at line 489 which indicates that the RPM file isn't the correct format?

Any help thanks.

[Michel_Gauvin]

No not possible, see stockson answer above.
