Install DGLux5 for Niagara 4

Use this guide to install the DGLux5 Service on a remote or local Niagara 4 station or on a JACE device.

The DGLux5 Service is compatible with Niagara 4.0.22 and higher.

The following Niagara 4 modules are required:

• alarm
• baja
• bql
• control
• driver
• file
• gx
• history
• jettyWrapper
• nre
• platform
• web

These steps demonstrate how to install DGLux5 on a local engineering tool, local Niagara 4 Supervisor, or local SoftJACE, using the .bat file.

1. Download the DGLux5 Niagara 4 installation file. (Requires dglux.com password)
2. Stop all running stations, and close all instances of the engineering tool.
3. Change the extension of the installation file from .dist to .zip.

4. Unzip the file.

   If the file unzips successfully, the installLocalWebContent.bat file appears, along with the niagara_home, niagara_user_home, and META-INF directories.

5. If you are using Niagara 4.1, open the installLocalWebContent.bat file with a text editor, and change 4.0 to 4.1. Save the file.
6. Open a command window, and navigate to the directory that contains the installLocalWebContent.bat file.
7. In the command window, type installLocalWebContent.

8. When prompted, choose a directory installation.

   The niagara_user_home directory is now installed.

9. Find the niagara_home\modules\dglogik.jar file, and place dglogik.jar in the Niagara 4 modules directory. Typically, this is C:\Niagara\Niagara-4.n.nnn\modules\.
10. Add the DGLux5 Service:
    1. Open the DGLogik Palette in the engineering tool.
    2. Copy and paste the DGLux5Service object under the Services node in the station database (station:|slot:/Services).
11. Go to <server>:port/dglux5, for example localhost:8080/dglux5.
12. To request a license, select Help > License, and then click the Request License button.

If installation using the .bat file does not work properly, you can install manually. Before you can install manually, it's a good idea to enable showing hidden folders:

   ProgramData is a hidden directory and can be seen in C:\ only if you have enabled showing hidden folders.

6. Find the niagara_home\modules\dglogik.jar file, and place dglogik.jar in the Niagara 4 modules directory. Typically, this is C:\Niagara\Niagara-4.n.nnn\modules\.
7. Add the DGLux5 Service:
