NI Max on Redhat 7.5 Linux Will Not Install

[JHugh]

I am trying to install NI Max on my system, and it will not install with the NI-VISA 15.0 package.

I've installed NI-KAL and configured it to my system. I also installed NI-VISA 15.0 from here: http://www.ni.com/download/ni-visa-15.0/5410/en/

I am running Redhat 7.5 Linux with Redhat 7.4 Linux kernel available. I am running LabVIEW 2018 64bit version.

I know that there is not a separate version of NI Max that I can install, so how can it get it on my system since it thought it was packaged with NI-VISA, but did not install?

Thanks.

Hi.

A possible workarround would be to install another NI Driver looking just to install the NI MAX. You can try with DAQmx Runtime with Configuration support or the Full version, just to discard.

Your Red Hat version seems to be compatible, you can check it in the link below

I could not find a version of that program which will work with RedHat Linux.

Will this install NI Max?

Unfortunately that version only has the drivers, not the NI MAX. But we released earlier this month a new set of drivers for Linux. You can check the link below.

The one who says 'NI Linux Device Drivers" sould work for you. You can check what is included in the next link.

I went through the process of downloading the .zip you linked and adding the .repo to my list. However, I have two questions.

1. Why won't it let me install? I type the following into the terminal:

sudo yum install ni-rio.x86_64
[sudo] password for hughj:
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, rhnplugin, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
http://download.ni.com/ni-linux-desktop/2018.07/rpm/ni/el7/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Failed connect to download.ni.com:80; No route to host"
Trying other mirror.

2. Which package am I supposed to install for my system running LabVIEW 2017 32 bit on a Linux Redhat 7.5 64 bit system? Are none of them for LabVIEW 32 bit, since they seem to all be fore 64 bit?

There are the listed packages:

$ yum list available
