NI-DAQmx 18.1 installation in RHEL7

[rashp8]

Greetings,

I am running LabVIEW 2018 in my RHEL 7.6 linux machine. I want to install DAQmx 18.1 in this machine. I have been using these two on Windows machine. But I am having trouble installing daqmx in RHEL 7 machine. I have checked the compatibility here  http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/52786/en/  and it shows DAQmx 18.1 is compatible with RHEL7. Following this page https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-linux-device-drivers.html I am trying to install. It keeps living me the error that "no ni-daqmx package available". Can someone please guide me where I am doing wrong?

Hello Everyone,

This problem got resolved. As it turned out I wasn't following the instructions very closely. I have now installed LabVIEW 2018 and NI DAQmx 18.1 on Red Hat Linux 7.6. Problem now is I can' seem to find NI MAX! In windows NI MAX gets installed automatically once DAQmx gets installed. Reading online I got a mixed feeling like in LINUX there won't be any NI MAX. Anyone using DAQmx on LInux machine please explain.

This White Paper, Windows vs Desktop Linux DAQmx, describes how to do many of the things that NI MAX does in a Linux environment.  It is specifically for NI-DAQmx 18.1.

Hello rashp8, 

How did you solve your problem? What instructions were you skipping?

I'm trying to install ni-daqmx with CentOS7 and I get several errors:

Requires: ni-pxiplatformservices-bin >=18.0.0.49152 and several others, can any one help me, please.

Hi kris5,

Yes I did solve my problem with DAQmx18.1 installation. I hope you are following this page for installation http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/54754/en/. As far as this error is concerned you should install ni-pxiplatformservices. Go to the directory where you have this file and then open terminal and install using this command 'rpm -i ni-pxiplatformservices'.

Thanks rashp8.

Actually I think my problem is because I'm trying to install the driver on a Centos7 running in a raspberry pi.

I'm new on Centos7 and on using raspberry, I have been searching for info about using the DAQ USB-6009 with a raspberry but I haven't found much information.

Thank you for the answer though.
