There are two different ways to install packages: from the CODESYS user interface and as a download from the CODESYS Store.
The type of installation does not have any effect on the functional scope of a package. The advantage of installing from the CODESYS user interface is that all future updates can be installed very conveniently via the Package Manager. The login credentials for the download can be saved, thus eliminating the need to type it again for other packages. |
Because no user information has been saved yet, you cannot log in.
Then click the Accept button to confirm the license conditions.
Here you have to reconfirm the license condition, select the recommended setup, and click the Next button to start the installation.
These installation dialogs will also prompt you for the installation directory.
Here the directory of the current Windows user is recommended by default.
The package contents (for example, sample projects) are installed in this directory.
For some packages, you are prompted to restart the CODESYS development environment after the installation.
This is done even if the Package Manager already indicates a successful installation.
When you click the Store tab again after restarting the development environment, you will already be logged in and you can install more packages.
The login credentials are saved until you log out from the Store tab and close CODESYS. |
Some customers have reported problems, which we cannot reproduce, when downloading with Internet Explorer. |
In case you save the package, the file is saved to the download directory of the current Windows user.
