Create a TestStand Linux deployment package with the Deployment Utility using a deployment specification and distribution settings.

If you are using the Python Adapter, navigate to Configure » Adapters » Python » Configure and specify the Python version to use.
  1. In TestStand Sequence Editor, launch TestStand Deployment Utility (TSDU) from the Tools menu.
  2. Create or open a TestStand deployment specification (.tsd) file.
  3. On the Mode tab, set Output Type to Linux Deployment.
  4. Choose the appropriate Linux Distribution from the dropdown list.
  5. On the System Source tab, add the required directories and workspace for the TestStand deployment specification.
    Note The TestStand Configuration Directory is included by default in the list of files to deploy even though the checkbox is unchecked and disabled.
    Note TestStand Environments are not supported in Linux Deployment mode
  6. On the Package Distribution Options tab, disable any selected dependencies for the deployment project. The Linux deployment type automatically includes the TestStand RTE, LabVIEW RTE, and CVI/LabWindows RTE, and other essential dependencies. Additional packages may not function as expected.
    Note The TestStand Runtime is automatically included in the deployment even though the checkbox is unchecked and disabled.
  7. Build the deployment package.
    Note TSDU makes the following changes while creating the Linux deployment:
    1. Enables Execute Steps In-Process in the LabWindows/CVI adapter settings.
    2. Enables LabVIEW Run-Time Engine and Version Independent Runtime Engine in the LabVIEW adapter settings.
    3. Disables the Database Logging and Offline Result Processing plugins.
    Note Ensure top-level sequence dependencies use relative paths. Package your sequence files and asset folders within a unified, close-proximity directory structure to prevent broken links during deployment.
