Set up a local repository

We recommend using a local repository to install software and updates offline. The local repository can then be made available via a USB stick or a server on the local network. To do this, first download the TwinCAT/BSD repository. This repository can then either be copied to the FAT partition of a USB stick or made available via an FTP or web server on the network.

• Provide repository on USB stick
• Setting up your own Package Server

By mirroring the entire content, the package verification also remains the same. For your TwinCAT/BSD system, it is as if the packages continue to be downloaded from the Beckhoff repository.

Downloading the repository under Windows

In this description, all configuration steps are performed locally on a TwinCAT/BSD system. If this is not desired, the TwinCAT/BSD repository can alternatively be downloaded to a Windows system. In this case, the official Beckhoff PowerShell module is available for download at https://github.com/Beckhoff/twincatbsd-tools.
