To install TeslaSCADA IDE download DEB package for Linux. Double click on it and follow installation processes. TeslaSCADA IDE and TeslaSCADA Runtime are designed to work specifically with X11. Some modern Linux systems use Wayland (Ubuntu 24.04 for example) by default. You have to switch to X11. How to do it in Ubuntu 24.04 for example:

1. Log out of your current session.

2. On the login screen, click the gear icon next to your username.

3. Choose "Ubuntu on Xorg" (which is X11).

4. Log back in and try running the application again.

 

After installation you can find files in opt directory.
