Installing Sedona bundles

Installing a Sedona Framework Bundle

This procedure describes how to install a Sedona Framework Bundle from NiagaraAX using the Sedona Installer. Prerequisites for installation include the following:
  • NiagaraAX-3.7 or later Workbench installed, licensed, and running.

  • Close any additional Niagara applications (including stations) that are running on your Workbench platform. During installation, certain files are backed up. Installation cannot complete if these files are in use by another process or application (such as your Niagara station).

  • The Sedona Framework Bundle (for example, Sedona_Framework_TXS-1.2.xx.zip) is accessible from your Workbench platform.

    NoteYou can download bundles from niagara-central.com. See Sedona Framework TXS 1.2 Bundle to NiagaraAX compatibility.

CautionSave any changes to your files before starting the Sedona Installer. You should select the option to Restart Workbench at the end of the installation process.

  1. From the Workbench main menu, select ToolsSedona Installer.

    The initial Sedona Installer dialog box displays. By default, the option to Install a TXS Bundle is selected, as shown in Figure 3.

    NoteIf this is a new Workbench installation and Sedona has not yet been installed, Install a TXS Bundle will be the only option available.

  2. In the initial Sedona Installer dialog box, click the folder icon to open the File Chooser dialog box.

  3. In the File Chooser dialog box, browse to the desired bundle, select it and click the Open button.

    The Sedona Installer dialog box displays again, with the selected bundle file in the text field, as shown in Figure 4. If you want to install only the Sedona environment files contained in the bundle, or only the module files, check or uncheck the appropriate boxes located below the selected file name.

    If the installer detects a Sedona installation in a location other than !sedona/, the following view displays asking if you wish to copy files from the current installation to !sedona/, as shown in Figure 5.

  6. In the Sedona Installer dialog box, click the Install button to initiate the final step of the Sedona Installer process.

    The installation may take a minute, as several processes run in sequential order. When installation successfully finishes, a message indicates that the process is complete and that Workbench should be restarted, as shown in Figure 7.
