Sam Dexter Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 Wonder if anyone can tell me where to get an ISO file for Linux LabVIEW and, maybe, give a few pointers on how to install it, exactly. I've tried to download it from the NI website but the "Offline Install" does not work at all and the on-line installer does something that I do not quite understand. After all, I cannot find LabVIEW on my computer. Any suggestions? log.txt update.txt list.txt upgrade.txt Quote
Bryan Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 I'm assuming you've rebooted and everything, correct? Is there anything in /usr/local/natinst? It's possible that it isn't showing up in the window manager menus. I have 2021 community edition installed on Linux Mint 21 and see the "labview" executable (links to "labviewcommunity"): user@linuxmint21:/usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW-2021-64$ ls AppLibs examples labview manuals ProjectTemplates README.txt user.lib www cintools help labviewcommunity menus readme resource vi.lib etc instr.lib linux project README.html templates VIObjCache The newer versions of LabVIEW (pre 2023Q1) install as package feeds according to this page on NI's website.

Sam Dexter Posted February 28 Author Report Posted February 28 Yes, followed it to a letter. There is no natinst in usr/local. Quote
LogMAN Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Just installed it on my Ubuntu 22.04 machine, no problem. Did you actually install LabVIEW according to the instructions @Bryan posted? Your logs only show the package feed being added to apt. Make sure to follow the instructions from step 5 onwards. In particular, "sudo apt install ni-labview-2025-community". Quote With the release of version 2023Q1, LabVIEW is installed using package feeds, which is the usual method of installing software on Linux distributions. Download the .zip file for the LabVIEW version and edition (Community, Full, Pro.) you wish to install. Open the .zip file and extract the package file (.rpm or .deb) for your Linux distribution and version. Install the package (e.g., For Ubuntu 20.04 use: sudo apt install ./ni-labview-2023-pro_23.1.0.49229-0+f77-ubuntu2004_all.deb) When the package has installed, refresh the feeds for your package manager. For example, with Ubuntu use: sudo apt update The package manager now includes feeds for the repositories that contain the edition of LabVIEW you wish to install. Install LabVIEW with the Linux distribution package manager (apt, zypper, or yum) The package name is in the format: ni-labview-<version>-<edition> The name of the .rpm/.deb file you extracted has the same name formatting, with extra numbers and supported OS. LabVIEW 2023 Professional Edition is called with ni-labview-2023-pro Ubuntu use: sudo apt install ni-labview-2023-pro You can use the search tools in package manager to find the correct package (e.g. apt search labview-2024) Reboot the PC Note: The LabVIEW Run Time Engine (RTE) package name is labview-2023-rte. (Optional) Offline help can be installed with the ni-labview-offline-manual package. e.g., sudo apt install ni-labview-offline-manual Please note: The offline help application is known to be unstable on Ubuntu 22.04. -- Install LabVIEW on Linux Operating Systems - NI Quote
Sam Dexter Posted March 4 Author Report Posted March 4 Thank you guys. Yes, sorry, it works. I just kept trying to install ni-labview-2025-pro while I downloaded the community edition. My bad. Quote
Bryan Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 If I recall, I believe that I made the exact same mistake whenever I tried installing Community Edition on a Linux Distro for the first time. Quote
