Installation

To install the GigE-V Framework for Linux from its compressed tar archive file, start by copying it to a base directory, usually the HOME directory of the user installing it, and extracting the files.

For example:

cp GigE-V-Framework_x86_2.02.0.0132.tar.gz $HOME

cd $HOME

tar –zxf GigE-V-Framework_x86_2.02.0.0132.tar.gz

Then, change to the directory DALSA and run the installer script.

cd DALSA

./corinstall

The script installs the GenICam SDK (v3_0 or later), if not already installed, and then configures, compiles, links, and installs the GigE-V Framework for Linux and its API libraries. It prompts for the administrator password when it needs to copy the various libraries to their preferred locations.

Alternately, the installation can be run using sudo (for example, using “sudo ./corinstall”).

The locations used for files are as follows:

Directory	Description
/opt/genicam_v3_0	GenICam SDK v3_0 files
/var/opt/genicam/xml/cache	GenICam XML cache
/usr/local/lib	Dynamic library files for the GigE-V Framework
/usr/dalsa/GigeV	Dynamic link to $HOME/DALSA/GigeV for system wide visibility
