Configuring the Package Server

Under Beckhoff RT Linux^®, the package management tool apt (Advanced Package Tool) is used to download and install software packages provided by Beckhoff. These packages are provided by Package Servers, which require authentication (login) before they can be accessed.

Login data must be stored in a configuration file so that Beckhoff RT Linux^® can access the Beckhoff Package Server and download packages. Without this information, you will not be able to update or install packages from this server.

The login data of your myBeckhoff account is used as login data. Register at myBeckhoff if you have not yet activated a user account.
