Installing Addons

There are two ways you can install ARDI addons or drivers - the automatic and the manual method.

To install an addon or driver manually, follow the steps below…

1) Log in to your ARDI system and download/copy the ZIP file with the downloaded ARDI addon or driver.

2) Copy the contents of the folder to your ARDI install directory (ie. C:\ARDI\ or /opt/ardi).

3) Install any required libraries/tools (ie. Python scripts) needed by the driver or addon. In some cases, these libraries might also be present in the ZIP file.

To install the library opcua on Windows, open a Command Prompt window and type…

c:\python310\scripts\pip install opcua

To install the library opcua on Linux, open a terminal and type…

pip3 install opcua
