# OpenTCS
|
|
|
|
On this page you will find a manual about how to install OpenTCS, as well as how you can create a basic simulation with OpenTCS. The OpenTCS software is primairly used on a Lubuntu system, so it will *probably* work with any Debian based system.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
To install OpenTCS you have to go to [their website](http://www.opentcs.org/en/download.html) and download the latest version. After downloading extract the archive into a directory to your preference. In almost each folder you will find some files called *.sh. You can use `ls -lAh` to check whether the files are executable, if they are not executable use `chmod +x <filename>.sh` to make it executable.
|
|
|
|
To start the OpenTCS Kernel go into the OpenTCS Kernel folder and run the `startKernel.sh`. To edit models, persist them in the kernel or operate them, you need the Plantoverview. Go into the OpenTCS Plantoverview folder and run `startPlantoverview.sh`.
|
|

|
## Get started
|
|
|
|
Start by running the openTCS kernel in modelling mode. After the kernel is started open the Plantoverview and load the demo01.xml (`<plantoverviewfolder>/data/demo01.xml`).
|
|
|
|
Click on File and persist the model into the kernel. After you have done this you have to set both the kernel and the Plantoverview in operating mode.
|
|
|
|
Now you have to go to the Plantoverview and right-click a vehicle and set it's integration level to "utilize this vehicle".
|
|
|
|
Now go to the kernel and select the loopback adapter for the vehicle and enable it. Optionally you can set a point to the vehicle so it has a starting position. (The loopback adapter is a virtual adapter, which allows you to get to know the features of OpenTCS without having a robot connected to it.)
|
|
|
|
Now you can go back to the Plantoverview and add a new transport order. After adding the transport order you should see the vehicle moving to your given position.
