how to run simulator or agent on ubuntu vbox?

[Sumitnaik22]

I am currently started working on Mtconnect , trying to understand it by implementinfg it on vbox.
I followed instruction given in github to build agent, was able to set up build ,download the source and build the agent using these command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential python3 python3-pip git cmake ruby rake autoconf
python3 -m pip install conan
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH' >> .bashrc

git clone https://github.com/mtconnect/cppagent.git

conan create cppagent -pr cppagent/conan/profile/gcc --build=missing

Now i am no able to figure out how to run simulator or run the agent.

Any guidance would be of great help.
Thank you.

assuming it is all built correctly, i think the launch cmd mtcagent run should launch the agent as well as run the simulator

once you have your own agent.cfg and devices.xml, you can run mtcagent run /your/path/to/agent.cfg

EDIT:

i havent built it outside a docker container in a while. see here: https://www.mtcup.org/Installing_C++_Agent_on_Ubuntu#run-the-agent. but one note: the exe has changed name from agent to mtcagent. you need to launch the ruby simulator script separately. launch it after you launch the agent with mtcagent run agent.cfg im sorry, i dont know exactly where the ruby scripts get installed

Checkout the Dockerfile. It goes through the steps on a clean Ubuntu image. When you run the image, it starts the demo simulator. - W
