Hello, everyone. My supervisor recently purchased a Raspberry Pi and was curious about loading Codesys onto it for practice in the different programming styles the software has to offer. He purchased CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi SL 2.2.0.1. He received a .package file that he executed, which installed the program and other files onto the Raspberry Pi. He was not able to find an executable file that he could open that would start Codesys and allow him to begin playing with the software. I was then tasked with figuring out how to use it.
I'm not a Linux guy, so I am very much in the dark about this. A post from a Raspberry Pi forum mentioned that Codesys on the Pi runs only in the background and that I'd need developer software on a Windows based machince, "point" the developer comuter to the Pi, compile the program, and then "send" it to the Pi. Here's a link to the post and the post itself;

Just like you can download images for Raspbian from this web site, you have to download an image from the CoDeSys store site.
They have it preinstalled in a Raspbian image.
CoDeSys runs as a daemon in the background. It starts automatically when the Pi boots. You have to run the development software on a Windows machine and point it to the Pi. There you develop your program and the visualization that runs as a web page put out by the Pi. When your program compiles cleanly you tell the development tool to go online. It then downloads the program to CoDeSys running on the Pi. It will let you download most program changes on the fly.
Hope this helps.

If anyone can help me to understand this, I would greatly appreciate it.
