Web Browser in RT Linux

[volleymar]

Hi,

how can I install a small Web Browser in LabVIEW RT? I'm using a cRIO-9040. I want to see the web interface of another network device.

I found the other post, where firefox was proposed. But after unpacking the archive, I can't start firefox.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

There is a really nice forum post describing every step of google chrome installation on  NI Linux RT. 

You might want to open NI MAX and enable Embedded UI in your cRIO section and be aware that when you open the shell on the cRIO you are not logged in as an admin for that you should enter the following command (su –l admin).

Thank you for your replay.

I tried to install Firefox like discribed in the post, but I can't start the programm.

My try to install Chrome failed, because the package links in the post couldn't be found. Is there a discribtion more up to date?

You can try this simple command  opkg install epiphany and then to access it simply type epiphany in the terminal. Epiphany is a low-maintenance and a light-weight browser.
