RED Brick - Installed Library Versions¶

The RED Brick comes with a plethora of different programming language libraries already installed. Below you can find the versions that are installed on the latest image. This list can also be viewed from the versions tab of the Brick Viewer for the connected RED Brick.

This list of versions is automatically generated and not fully complete. We install libraries from many different sources (Debian packages, pip packages, tarball, etc). Unfortunately not all of the sources are easily parsable, thus they are not all included.

Installation of other Libraries¶

We made it easy to install other libraries to the RED Brick.

For the languages with package managers (JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby) the package manager (npm, cpanm, pear, pip, gem) is pre-installed and you can use it through the console tab of the Brick Viewer. Even if you don't have any experience with Linux or terminals, you can read up on these package managers and learn how to use them in a matter of minutes!

For C# and Visual Basic .NET you can just take the .NET DLL, upload it with your program and add it as a reference during the upload process. Similarly for Java you can upload missing JARs. They are automatically added to the class path by the upload wizard.

Most C libraries are available through the normal Debian repository, just use apt-get to install them through the RED Brick console tab.

The Tinkerforge Bindings are of course pre-installed for all of the languages. You can just assume that they are available and use them.

If you know a library that should definitely be in the default images, please write us an email (info@tinkerforge.com). Include a place where we can find it and how we can install it. Preferably it is available in the Debian wheezy repository.

Updating Mono¶

For Image version >= 1.7 it is possible to update Mono to version 4, by default version 3 is installed. To do this a working Internet connection on the RED Brick is required. Issue the following commands from the console in Brick Viewer or via a SSH connection to the RED Brick:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-devel mono-complete ca-certificates-mono

Currently Mono 4 does not come with the Visual Basic .NET compiler vbnc. If you want to compile Visual Basic .NET code on the RED Brick then you should not update Mono.
