- Linux inc RPI https://www.g8jcf.uk/olctl/downloads/olctl-2.4.0.0.deb
Choosing the appropriate Installer
Windows/WINE: olctl is installed on Windows based system by doing
- Download the package using the Windows/WINE link
- execute setup.exe.
Linux inc Raspberry PI: olctl is installed on Linux Debian systems by doing (if your LINUX system is x86 and has WINE installed (including winetricks), then using the Windows Installer will probably be easier)
- Download the .deb package from the link above
- Startup a terminal session
- sudo apt update
- sudo apt upgrade
- cd to wherever you have downloaded the .deb into, usually ~/Downloads
- sudo apt install ./olctl.deb Note if mono is not already installed apt will install it as well.
MacOS: olctl is installed on macOS by doing
- Install mono from https://www.mono-project.com/docs/getti ... stall/mac/
- Download the package from the link above
- Use “Finder” to locate olctl.app.pkg - probably ~/Downloads
- Double click olctl.app.pkg to launch the installation process
- Click through the various screens
- On completion use Finder and Go to /Applications
- olctl should appear as an app
For systems which can't use .DEB files for installation, try installing WINE and using the Windows Installer
If WINE is not available for your system, download the "Raw Bundle" and manually* install the components according to your system needs. You will need to install MONO - see https://www.mono-project.com/docs/ to see if your OS is supported officially.
To manually* install olctl
- unzip olctl2.zip
- chmod 755 olctl.exe
- moving the two files, olctl and CookComputing.XmlRpc.dll file to a suitable place, eg /usr/local/bin. Adding the menu entry to the display system must also be carried out manually. If somebody wishes to create an installer for olctl for non Debian systems, eg Red Hat, SUSE, then this author is more than happy to assist as much as he is able to.
