If you want to go cheap then program using a text based language. NI sell a specific version of LabVIEW that is designed for Linux, unfortunately there is no cheap way of getting hold of LabVIEW, the Linux license cost just as much as a windows LabVIEW licence. In order for us to run LabVIEW on a Linux system we require a specific Kernel version and also a specific distribution that NI support. As a user friendly interface that makes calls to the Linux Kernel, each distribution has its own unique implementation of calls to the Kernel.
These distributions have a different look and feel when they sit on top of the Kernel. The “flavours” of Linux such as, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Red Hat and OpenSUSE are known as distributions. All of these flavours are based on the Linux Kernel which are the brains, in essence it is the OS. Linux is a very diverse OS and has many different “flavours”.

We are then left with Linux which is an open source language (open source meaning free).
#LABVIEW FOR MAC OS X MAC OS X#
Windows and Mac OS X have licensing costs associated with them, so that rules them out as we want to keep the cost down. OK, so we know LabVIEW will work on the three big OS’s, now we need to pick one.
#LABVIEW FOR MAC OS X INSTALL#
If you wish to use the development environment to develop code, then you require more from your OS compared to if you just want to install the run-time engine and run your built LabVIEW application. Depending on how you want to use LabVIEW will depend on the requirements. NI LabVIEW has been designed to run on the three main Operating Systems (OS), Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. You can find out more about this on the National Instruments website. LabVIEW Requirementsįirst things first, understanding what the minimum requirements are to run NI LabVIEW. In this blog, I explore some options that will hopefully give you some insight into what is available at the moment. The project I have been working on is to find a small, cheap platform for National Instruments (NI) LabVIEW. Over the last few months I have been working on a project for our sister company Green Running, which is an energy monitoring and reporting company. My name is Kevin Ross and I am a System Engineer for Austin Consultants.
