Download
You also have the option to obtain the files using this command:
curl -LO https://github.com/OptimistikSAS/OIBus/releases/download/v3.4.9/oibus-linux_arm64-v3.4.9.zip
unzip -a oibus-linux_arm64-v3.4.9.zip -d OIBus/
The following files have been extracted:
oibus-launcher // OIBus launcher to run the binary
binaries/oibus // OIBus binary
oibus-setup.sh // installation script
oibus-uninstall.sh // uninstallation script that will be updated during the installation process
Bash scripts have been tested on Ubuntu. They are used to set OIBus as a service. Alternatively, it is possible to run OIBus binary only.
Installation of OIBus as a Linux service
You can execute the installation script using the following command, and administrative privileges will be necessary during the script's execution.
sudo ./oibus-setup.sh
During the installation process, the following questions will be presented (default answers are provided in this example):
Administrative permissions are required to proceed. Do you wish to continue? (Y/n)
Administrative permissions granted.
Enter the directory in which you want to install the OIBus binary (default: ./OIBus/):
Enter the directory in which you want to save all your OIBus related data, caches, and logs (default: ./OIBusData/):
Enter a username for your session. It will be used every time you log into OIBus (default: admin):
Enter a name for your OIBus. It will help to identify your OIBus, and assist in potential troubleshooting (default: OIBus):
Enter the port on which you want OIBus to run (default 2223):

Get familiar with the OIBus interface on the first access page.
Update
To perform an OIBus update, download the most recent version, extract the compressed archive, and initiate the setup installation.
sudo ./oibus-setup.sh
At start, OIBus will automatically update the configuration oibus.db and the cache structure if needed. Here is
an output example:
Administrative permissions are required to proceed. Do you wish to continue? (Y/n)
Administrative permissions granted.
Enter the directory in which you want to install the OIBus binary (default: ./OIBus/):
Enter the directory in which you want to save all your OIBus related data, caches, and logs (default: ./OIBusData/):
An oibus.json file was found. Do you want to use it for this OIBus? (Y/n)

Uninstall OIBus
An uninstallation script has been provided within the OIBus binary directory. When inside this folder, input the following command:
sudo ./oibus-uninstall.sh
Here is an output example:
Administrative permissions are required to proceed with uninstall. Do you wish to continue ? (Y/n)
Administrative permissions granted.
Do you wish to remove all OIBus data (cache, logs...)? All data, credentials and logs about your current OIBus will be permanently erased. (y/N) y
Removed /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/oibus.service.
OIBus service was successfully removed.
As a default setting, the configuration is retained if you intend to reinstall OIBus at a later time. However, it is possible to remove it, but doing so will result in the loss of all credentials and the entire OIBus configuration.
Run OIBus in standalone
If you prefer to run OIBus without installing it as a service, after downloading and unzipping the archive, you can execute the following command:
./oibus-launcher --config ./OIBusData
Ensure that the OIBusData directory is already in place, as it serves as the storage location for cache, logs, and
the configuration database (OIBusData in the example).
