Help Needed: Installing PyPlcnextRsc on Alpine Container in PLCnext AXC F 2152.

Piko_Prasetyo

Hi everyone,

Thanks to the support I've received over the past few months, I've made significant progress. I successfully installed an Alpine container on the PLCnext AXC F 2152 and have Python and NumPy running inside it to develop a kinematics model for an AGV robot.

However, I've been stuck for a week trying to install PyPlcnextRsc. My goal is to access the GDS for controlling motors and reading sensor data. I've tried various approaches, but nothing seems to work.

Could anyone guide me on how to properly install PyPlcnextRsc in an Alpine container? Any advice or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I assume that the container has access to the internet ... is that correct?

What is the result of executing this command inside the container?

pip install -U PyPlcnextRsc

Yes, I have already do that Mr. Martin. But, it said "error: externally-managed-environment"

I googled that error message and this was the top hit:

... which refers to this additional answer:

If this is the same problem, then this is a general python issue rather than anything related to PLCnext Technology or to the specific library you want to use.

Thank you for the answer Mr. Martin, but can you reference any other way? I am stuck and I think maybe it is better to have another solutions or methods.

Based on the information you've given , this seems to a general python issue, and the suggestions in the Stack Overflow answers provide a few possible solutions.

What happens when you try those suggestions?

In particular, I would have expected the "break-system-packages" option to work. What's the problem with that solution?

If you think it is a problem with the python library you're trying to install, then please contact the developers of that library - they may be able to suggest other solutions.
