CODESYS 4 Linux is just a small install helper, to install CODESYS on top of wine. This works, since the release of version 3.5 SP13, more or less smoothly. You can't expect, that all features are working, or that the usability is as smooth as under windows. But big parts of the product are working, what makes it well usable for many scenarios.
This describes, the prefered way, using the install script.
To manually do the installation, you might want to take a look into this page.
Download the install script. This can be done with
e.g.:
wget -c "https://forge.codesys.com/tol/codesys-4-linux/docker/ci/master/tree/codesys-ide/install.sh?format=raw"
You might need a development version of wine.
This is the command for debian to install it:
sudo apt-get install wine64-development cabextract winbind
Change the rights of the script, and run it.
chmod u+x install.sh
./install.sh
You can build a docker container, which contains a CODESYS installation running on top of wine. The installation process is automated in the same way as described above. To build the docker image, you can simply use the Dockerfile from the Git repository:
sudo docker build https://forge.codesys.com/git/tol,codesys-4-linux,docker.git/\#:codesys-ide
The CODESYS Control runtime is natively running on linux. The Soft PLC CODESYS Control Linux SL contains a free 2h Demo mode. You can easily create a debian based docker inage, which contains this demo:
sudo docker build https://forge.codesys.com/git/tol,codesys-4-linux,docker.git/\#:codesys-control
After the installer finished, you should have a folder "~/.wine.cds/drive_c/CODESYS". From there you can start CODESYS like this...
wine-development ~/.wine.cds/drive_c/CODESYS/CODESYS/Common/CODESYS.exe
