Install Ignition for Linux Desktops

If using any serial ports for communications, add the user running Ignition (administrator or ignition typically) to the dialout group with the following command (use one of these 2 for easy copy/paste or adjust the username to whatever Ignition is using):

sudo usermod -a -G dialout administrator

sudo usermod -a -G dialout ignition

If installing any designers or runtimes, use the Linux installer scripts on the server or attached to this page. You just need to make them executable using the chmod +x setup-[AppName].sh command.

If using Vision as the client, the script should install a Gnome Extension Manager which will show up in the launcher (possibly may require a reboot to show up). In Extension Manager, search/browse for an extension called "Block Caribou" and install it. This will prevent the OS On-screen keyboard from interfering with the Ignition on-screen keyboard.
