Alternative CTRE Library Installers

I am working on getting the other installer stuff placed, but I have all of the library stuff for the development machines. This does require an Eclipse restart after the scripts are finished running. The windows process is a little more involved than the UNIX version, which is being worked on, but for those developers who just don’t like the CTRE installers, or those who run alternative Operating Systems, I am currently working on a way to handle this stuff through macOS/Linux. Most of the executable is just a copying/moving process (including the windows version).

If anybody happens to know where CTRE’s Lifeboat installs the new content on the RoboRIO, let me know! I’ll gladly add to the project. :slight_smile:

Just look at the screenshot/LifeBoat Imager output, we display the paths on LifeBoat.

Oh, I honestly had no clue this was even published so far down in the readme. Thanks! I’ll probably finish reading through that readme in a little bit here.

Question for you, ozrien, are the .so files stored in the installer or somewhere that I could possibly pull using wget or curl?

I have since updated the repo, there is now a non-windows scripted distribution methodology. The Windows version does use Java, however, both fully available versions install as much as available for either operating system. Please note; the content for the non-windows installers does use scp to transfer some files and requires a roborio reboot (the installer will remind you of this) after the ssh session in order to properly update things (you can also restart the apache2 service, but it’s easier to just reboot the roborio).
