On a HMI panel:

1. Start a Windows PowerShell with "Run as Administrator"

2. Insert your USB flash drive into HMI panel and run update script.

In a Windows PowerShell with "Run as Administrator", execute command to run script

(in example below USB is recognized as E:\ drive, it might be an other in your case):

• Change current folder:

cd E:\

• Run update script:

E:\install-robot-config-USB.ps1

3. After update, in Robot-Config "About" menu you should see latest version number.

Installation / upgrade with internet connection

Download script to HMI panel:
http://flexlink-public-files.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/download/software/robot-config/latest/install-robot-config.ps1

Open a Windows PowerShell with "Run as Administrator".

Run install script to install latest stable version of robot-config. The script will uninstall any previously installed version of robot-config.

.\install-robot-config.ps1

Run following command to check that robot-config started without errors:

docker logs robot-config

For first time installation: 

Create a desktop shortcut called Robot Config on desktop. Set the following target:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -kiosk http://localhost:5567

This shortcut will open Robot-Config in Chrome fullscreen mode.

Installation of a specific version

With the available scripts for online and offline installation usually the "latest" version is installed.

If your Robot-Config docker image happens to have a different version (offline) or you need to install a specific version (online) via script you can easily modify the script to do so.

Open the script with any text editor and find the following line:

$imageName = 'registry.gitlab.com/fsi-lab/fsi-open-source/hub/robot-config:latest'

Replace 'latest' with the desired version.

Example: Version 1.14.0 should be installed, replace 'latest' with '1.14.0'

$imageName = 'registry.gitlab.com/fsi-lab/fsi-open-source/hub/robot-config:1.14.0'
