Cognex on Linux

Linux is an extremely popular platform for robotics and automation systems, but does not natively support In-Sight Explorer. It's possible to setup In-Sight Explorer on Linux, with the help of Wine, but in the long run, a native approach will give you a faster, easier installation with more flexibility. Below, we'll demonstrate this with our demo application.

Fast, Easy Installation

With our native Linux support, you can just download the binary. Just extract and run. Not built for your platform? Use our Java version.

Flexibility

The install was easier, but what about flexibility? In-Sight is a closed source application with no Linux library. Our native Linux support includes a library with a fully documented API.
