Line 1:
This article provide a basic set of instructions to install the Wibu CodeMeter Runtime on a Linux host through the command line interface (CLI). For more information about using Wibu dongles or software licenses, refer to <u>[[Wibu_Dongles|Wibu Dongles]]</u>.
 
The Linux commands used on this wiki should work on most modern Linux distributions, but were tested on CentOS and Debian. Note that these instructions are provided as a courtesy to users new to Linux, please ensure you understand what the commands mean before you run them and be aware of the [[Tuflow:General_disclaimer|general disclaimer]].
Line 5:
==Getting the CodeMeter Runtime==
 
The appropriate version of the CodeMeter Runtime can be obtained from the Wibu website at <u>[https://www.wibu.com/support/user/downloads-user-software.html https://www.wibu.com/support/user/downloads-user-software.html]</u>.
 
If you are using Debian, Ubuntu, Mint or another Linux distribution in the Debian family of distributions, you should obtain a copy of the `.deb` installer for your hardware. If you are using Red Hat (RHEL), Fedora, CentOS or another Linux distribution in the Red Hat family of distributions, you should obtain a copy of the `.rpm` installer for your hardware. If your hardware supports 64-bit software (which is likely for modern systems), using that version is recommended. From here on, we'll refer to 'Debian' or 'Red Hat' to mean any distribution in that family.

On Red Hat, you can achieve this with:<pre>sudo firewall-cmd --get-active-zones
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=2235222350/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload</pre>
This assumes you see the `public` zone after the first command.
 
On Debian, you can run:<pre>sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22350 -j ACCEPT</pre>
 
Similarly, if you want users to be able to access the web admin interface for code meter on the server, you would need to ensure the firewall allows request on port 22352 (for http) and/or 22353 (for https). However, access to the web admin interface from other machines is not required for obtaining a license and in typical configurations, you would be able to access the web admin interface on the host itself (localhost) without additional firewall rules.
