Thanks for providing this! I'm changing jobs soon and will be using codesys on Linux for my next round of development.

Building the codesys-ide container does not work for me with the command you provided here. After downloading dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe, my build is simply stuck on the "Executing load_remove_mono internal" command. Do you have any idea what could cause this?

+**Warning!!!** The Information on this project is outdated. Since the release SP17, the install script doesn't work anymore, due to the modularization of CODESYS.

 # Preface
 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.
