Running python Samples on a windows IDE

Running python Samples on a windows IDE

Hello,

I wanted to interact with the ctrlX datalayer using the python SDK, but I don't want to use the ctrlX IDE. Instead, I would prefer to run it on my Windows desktop, using a windows IDE (like VS Code or Pycham). Is it possible? Or do I need to set up a Linux environment for that?

When I tried it I got an error indicating that a necessary library was specific to Linux systems...

Thanks in advance 😊

Hi @star_board ,

There are a few options here, but I would suggest setting up a ctrlX Works App Build Environment if you don't have a hard preference. It is very straight forward and all of the dependency installation is automated. It is also the preferred workflow.

From within the Linux app build environment, you can run all of the samples (including Python). You can run them from within an IDE like VS Code in this case.

Thanks! 😀
I have been able to do it! Also this youtube video helped: [EN] Bosch Rexroth How-to: Software Development Kit for ctrlX AUTOMATION (youtube.com)
