Installing OpenSCADA with latest version of dependencies

README.md

OpenSCADA Installation

OpenSCADA is platform which supports high fidelity emulation of IEC 6111-3 compliant PLCs and SCADA protocols. You can check details at OpenSCADA documentation.

Environment

• Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (x86_64)

Install required packages

• Install APT packages

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install -y build-essential python3 python3-pip python3-tk \
    openjdk-8-jdk pkg-config zip unzip g++ zlib1g-dev libssl-dev \
    automake checkinstall libncurses5 libncurses5-dev git

• Install Bazel builder

  wget https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/1.1.0/bazel-1.1.0-installer-linux-x86_64.sh
  chmod +x bazel-1.1.0-installer-linux-x86_64.sh
  ./bazel-1.1.0-installer-linux-x86_64.sh --prefix=$HOME/.local
  echo "export PATH=\$PATH:\$HOME/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
  source ~/.bashrc

• Install Python packages

  pip3 install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
  cat << EOF >> ~/.bashrc
  WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
  VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=$(which python3)
  VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV=$HOME/.local/bin/virtualenv
  source $HOME/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
  EOF
  source ~/.bashrc
  mkvirtualenv oscada
  pip install grpcio grpcio-tools numpy opencv-python

• Install OpenSCADA and Kronos (Virtualization) repositories

  git clone https://github.com/Vignesh2208/Kronos.git
  git clone https://github.com/Vignesh2208/OpenSCADA.git

  Details Installation instruction for Kronos is at Kronos Documentation. You shoud hold Shift button while booting to choose 4.4.5-ins-VT kernel in advanced Ubuntu boot mode after building and loading Kronos kernel.

  If you met code model kernel does not support PIC mode error while compiling, you should apply the below patch. The error can be occurred when you use high version of GCC to compile relatively lower version of kernel.

  diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
  index dda982c..f96b174 100644
  --- a/Makefile

  Save the diff as pie.patch, apply it and compile again.

  patch -p1 < pie.patch

• Test kronos_functions

  Load Kronos kernel module and you should test it is loaded and installed without an error.

  >>> import kronos_functions
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: No module named kronos_functions

  If you get the above error, check there exists the package in disk-packages directory of global python or oscada virtualenv. In my case, the pacakge was installed in /usr/local/lib/python3.x/dist-packages so I copied it to site-pacakges directory of my virtual environment like the below.

  cp /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/kronos_functions* ~/.virtualenvs/oscada/lib/python3.7/site-packages/
