Installing IBEX Client 

Installation of IBEX client on a PC is simple and straightforward.

Pre-requisites for running IBEX Client 

The IBEX client is designed to run on Windows 10, and so long as that is up to date that should be enough for the client. It may run on Windows 11, but there is no support for that at present. It can run on Linux, and there is a build available for use on IDAAS, it is not supported in other Linux environments at present.

Installation 

There is a network drive location that the experiment controls group can direct you to.
