A Beckhoff RT Linux^® installation contains the required software for the operating system and the TwinCAT 3 runtime. You can install additional software or TwinCAT Functions. This chapter shows examples of how to search for TwinCAT packages and then install them. The command line commands can also be transferred to other packages.

You can use this command to search for all packages that contain the term "TwinCAT":

sudo apt search TwinCAT

For example, to search for a specific TwinCAT function, you can use the following command:

sudo apt search tf5000-nc-ptp-xar

Then install the package found using the command:

sudo apt install tf5000-nc-ptp-xar
