docker pull frangoteam/fuxa:latest
docker run -d -p 1881:1881 frangoteam/fuxa:latest

// persistent storage of application data (project), daq (tags history), logs and images (resource)
docker run -d -p 1881:1881 -v fuxa_appdata:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_appdata -v fuxa_db:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_db -v fuxa_logs:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_logs -v fuxa_images:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_images frangoteam/fuxa:latest

// with Docker compose
// persistent storage will be at ./appdata ./db ./logs and ./images
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frangoteam/FUXA/master/compose.yml
docker compose up -d

Install from NPM

You need to have installed Node Version 18.

WARNING In linux with nodejs Version 18 the installation could be a challenge. If you don't intend communicate with Siemens PLCs via S7 (node-snap7 library) you can install from NPM @frangoteam/fuxa-min

npm install -g --unsafe-perm @frangoteam/fuxa
fuxa

Install from source

Download the latest release and unpack it

You need to have installed Node Version 18.

WARNING In linux with nodejs Version 18 the installation could be a challenge. If you don't intend communicate with Siemens PLCs via S7 you can remove the node-snap7 library from the server/package.json

cd ./server
npm install
npm start

Open up a browser (better Chrome) and navigate to http://localhost:1881

Note If you intend to use nodejs version 14, please remove odbc from the package.json dependencies. nodejs 14 may have compatibility issues with certain versions of odbc, which could lead to installation errors.

Creating the Electron Application

Electron is a framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies. An Electron application is standalone, meaning it can be run independently on your desktop without needing a web browser.

To create the Electron application, you need to have node.js 18 installed. Follow these steps:

Build Server and Client First

cd ./server
npm install
cd ../client
npm install
npm run build

Packaging

cd ./app
npm install
npm run package

After following these steps, you will have a standalone Electron application for FUXA. The application can be found in the ./app directory.

Usage

• Look the guide in wiki pages
• Look video from frangoteam
• Look video from Fusion Automate - Urvish Nakum

To Debug (Full Stack)

Install and start to serve the frontend

cd ./client
npm install
npm start

Start the Server and Client (Browser) in Debug Mode

In vscode: Debug ‘Server & Client’

To Build

Build the frontend for production

cd ./client
ng build --configuration=production
