Linux Install - GeneralElectric/TrueConnect-Link GitHub Wiki

Install and setup of TrueConnect-Link on a Linux server is fairly straightforward, a number of pre-compiled executables are available under the latest release which can be installed on the server that has access to the data. If there are no binaries for the environment you are deploying to, one can be built on site, see Open Source Build

Once you have your executable "TrueConnectLink" it needs to set it up to work on that server and configured to collect files and send them to Predix via TrueConnect.

We recommend that you place the executable along with its associated configuration files in the following location.

 /usr/local/bin/trueconnectlink/

TrueConnect-Link can be executed in a number of different ways depending on how often data is transferred or if the software is integrated into a script.

• Auto - This mode will run continually, finding all matching files in the configured location and uploading them to Predix. It will continue to check these locations at a configured interval.
• One Time - This mode works like auto except that it terminates after all found files are uploaded.
• Single File - This mode is designed to work as a command line tool that will upload a single file to predix.

Most of these methods of execution will require a configuration file, you should have at least one supplied for each customer, if you don't or your configuration requires editing please refer to the Configuration guide.

Now you are all set its a good idea to perform a Network Test if this reports no problems then you are good to go.
