The script supports various arguments for customizing the installation, the desired functionality and the installation process itself. All arguments are optional:
| Argument | Function | Notes |
-h --help | Display the help. | |
-p --path | Define a custom installation directory. | The target directory name specifies where to place the software package. If the directory does not yet exist, it will be created. The path can be either absolute or relative; i.e. the name may but need not start with / . If no path is specified, the package will be installed to /opt/ImpactAcquire. |
-f --force | Force the installation script to use the package manager of the system to install required packages if the installation script reports inaccessible repositories. | e.g. a package source on local media. |
-a= --add= <tech1>[,<tech2>].. | Install features supporting the given technologies. | See table below for possible values for the 'tech' parameter. |
-e= --exclude= <tech1>[,<tech2>],.. | Do not install features supporting the given technologies. | |
-py --python_support | Compile the Python wrapper and install the required dependencies. Once a version number is passed to this parameter, the installation script will try to install this particular version, if possible. | e.g. --python_support=3.9 |
-r --remove | Remove the previously installed version for ALL devices, if found. | Defaults to no or yes if a 2.x.x installation is found on the system. |
-x --extract | Extract the embedded files as a tgz archive, testing the checksum, but do not install anything. | |
-u --unattended | Unattended installation with default settings. | By using this parameter the EULA will be accepted automatically. |
-m --minimal | Minimal installation. No tools or samples will be built, and no automatic configuration and/or optimizations will be done. | |
-rt --runtime | Minimal installation. No tools or samples will be built. |
Option A: Possible values for the 'tech' parameter when using '-a', '–add', '-e' and '–exclude':
| Value for <tech> | Description | Will be installed by default? |
gev | GigE Vision™. | yes |
u3v | USB3 Vision™. | |
pcie | BVS CA-BN (mvBlueNAOS) PCIe camera. | |
usb2 | BVS CA-MLC/BVS CA-IGC (mvBlueFOX) USB2 camera. | |
vdev | Virtual Device. | no |
This option allows to select and install all availabe technologies and features.
Option B: Possible values when using bitmask to include or exclude technologies to be installed:
| Technology | Bitmask | Available for Impact Acquire |
gev | 0x01 | 3.6.0 - today |
u3v | 0x02 | 3.6.0 - today |
pcie | 0x04 | 3.6.0 - today |
usb2 | 0x08 | 3.6.0 - today |
vdev | 0x10 | 3.6.0 - today |
| Unattended installation | 0x20 | 3.6.0 - today |
This option allows only to install the technologies specified in the table above. This can be used for automated installations, e.g. in a Docker container or on a virtual machine.
