Package manager based installation

While on Linux the package manager based installs are a standard way of installing software, on Windows it is not so common. Since version 5.2, ABB Ability™ History now has experimental support for the package manager based install also on Windows. This support is currently based on Chocolatey.

📘

Please Note As the package managed-based installation support is still experimental, it is recommended currently to try it only in a system that can be wiped afterward, e.g., inside a virtual machine

Preparations

The package managed based installation method relies on Chocolatey, which is a package manager for Windows. You can follow this guide to install Chocolatey.

When you have Chocolatey installed, then add the ABB Ability™ History repository.

choco source add -n cpmPlus -s http://cpmplus-repository.abb.com:5001/ --bypassproxy

Installation

To view the packages in the ABB Ability™ History repository, try:
