Hi,
I want to deploy a small labview executable to a virtual machine.
The labview application is just a TCP gateway.
The OS is still up for debate. I just want the OS to have a small footprint.
Ideally, I would use the LabVIEW Linx toolkit and deploy my application to a raspberry pi.
That way I can do all development from Windows, and have a small footprint to run the executable.
However I need to deploy to a VM, and I can't virtualize the raspberry pi, as it is ARM-based.
(the hypervisor is TrueNAS/bHyve)
So I was thinking of creating a headless Ubuntu server VM, to run the labVIEW executable on.
So I need to build a linux-executable with LabVIEW for linux, and deploy it to the ubuntu server VM.
However as Ubuntu server has no GUI, can LabVIEW executables run on it?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Don't know anything about LabVIEW on Linux, but this article says you can install GUI on Ubuntu Server if you need one.

Hi,
I explicitly chose Ubuntu server, because it has no GUI, as I want to keep the footprint (disk, RAM, cpu) as low as possible.
So I wanted to know if a labview linux exe can run in a linux environment without GUI.

Found an article that explains how to run LabVIEW code on headless linux :
