Installing

Windows Installation

On Windows, run the installer executable prosys-opc-ua-forge-windows-x64-1.3.0-245.exe and follow the instructions. By default, the application is installed to the folder Program Files/ProsysOPC/Prosys OPC UA Forge.

Linux Installation

On Linux, first open the terminal and navigate to the directory of the downloaded .sh file.

Then run the installation with the command

sudo sh prosys-opc-ua-forge-linux-x64-1.3.0-245.sh

This will open the installer where you can follow the steps to complete the installation. By default, the application is installed to the folder opt/prosys-opc-ua-forge.

To run the installation in console mode, you can use the command

sudo sh prosys-opc-ua-forge-linux-x64-1.3.0-245.sh -c

Docker Installation

If you do not have a Docker Engine installed, you will need to install one first. Please, follow the official Docker installation instructions.

If you are running the Docker on Windows, you need to use Linux containers.

Download the AMD64 or ARM64/v8 Docker image ZIP package, which includes the Docker image for Forge and scripts for starting the Docker application.

Extract the ZIP file to a location of your choice. In the next steps (Running the Docker Application) the path to this location will be referred to as <installation_folder>.

Be aware that <installation_folder> will be used as a mounting point to the Docker container. The Prosys OPC UA Forge that runs inside the container will find its configuration files, respectively, under the folder <installation_folder>/data.

Running the Docker Application

You can run the Docker Application after you have performed the Docker Installation.

You can use the start-up scripts that are available under the <installation_folder>/bin. The scripts can perform five different actions:

  • start: Start the Forge in the Docker container. Loads the image first, if it is not loaded yet.

  • stop: Stop and remove the Docker container.

  • load: Load the Docker image.

  • unload: Unload the Docker image. Stops the container first.

  • status: Current status of the Docker image, Docker container and Forge.

Use forge-docker.ps1 <parameter> or forge-docker.sh <parameter> to perform the action in the Docker Application in Windows or Unix-based systems, respectively.

The Docker requires Administrator privileges in Linux, so you have to run the commands with sudo.

Running the Docker Application manually

To load the Docker image

sudo docker load -i <installation_folder>/docker-image/prosys-opc-ua-forge-1.3.0-245-image.tar

And then you can run the Docker image as a container:

On Unix-based systems use

sudo docker run --detach -u root -v $(pwd)/data:/data --net=host --hostname $HOSTNAME --name Forge -e JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED -Dapp.home=/data/" prosys-opc-ua-forge:1.3.0-245

On Windows use

docker run --detach -u root -v "$(pwd)/data:/data" --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -p 8443:8443 -p 8080:8080 -p 56560:56560 --hostname %COMPUTERNAME% --name Forge -e "JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED -Dapp.home==/data/" prosys-opc-ua-forge:${project.version}

This maps the <installation_folder>/data into /data folder inside the container, and also maps the access to the configuration files, respectively.

Uninstallation

Windows Uninstallation

On Windows the application can be uninstalled through the Control Panel or the Apps & features menu, or optionally with the uninstaller that is located in the installation folder.

Linux Uninstallation

On Linux, open the terminal and navigate to the installation folder (default folder is opt/prosys-opc-ua-forge) and use the command sudo ./uninstall.

Docker Uninstallation

On Linux distributions, please follow the official Docker Uninstallation instructions (CentOS, Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu).

On Windows the Docker Desktop can be uninstalled through the Control Panel.

On Mac the Docker Desktop can be uninstalled from the Docker menu by selecting Troubleshoot and then Uninstall.

User Manual

The User Manual for the application is installed into <install_location>/doc. You can also read it here: Prosys_OPC_UA_Forge_UserManual.pdf.
