🛠 Installing and Running

FUXA is developed with NodeJS (backend) and Angular (frontend).

For detailed guides and advanced configuration options, see the official documentation:

👉 https://frangoteam.github.io/FUXA/

1° Option - Running from docker

docker pull frangoteam/fuxa:latest
docker run -d -p 1881:1881 frangoteam/fuxa:latest

// persistent storage of application data (project), daq (tags history), logs and images (resource)
docker run -d -p 1881:1881 -v fuxa_appdata:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_appdata -v fuxa_db:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_db -v fuxa_logs:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_logs -v fuxa_images:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_images frangoteam/fuxa:latest

// with Docker compose
// persistent storage will be at ./appdata ./db ./logs and ./images
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frangoteam/FUXA/master/compose.yml
docker compose up -d

Open up a browser (better Chrome) and navigate to http://localhost:1881

2° Option - Install from source

Download the latest release and unpack it

You need to have installed Node.js

• Recommended: Node.js 22 LTS

Note Starting from FUXA 1.2.7, Node.js 14 and older versions are not supported due to upstream dependency updates.

WARNING On Linux systems (especially Raspberry Pi), installing native dependencies may require additional build tools. If you do not intend to use specific features, you can safely remove them from server/package.json:

• Remove node-snap7 if you do not need Siemens S7 communication
• Remove odbc if you do not need external database connectivity

cd ./server
npm install
npm start

Open up a browser (better Chrome) and navigate to http://localhost:1881

3° Option - Install from NPM

You need to have installed Node.js

• Recommended: Node.js 22 LTS

WARNING In Linux, installing native dependencies may be challenging. If you don't intend communicate with Siemens PLCs via S7 (node-snap7 library) you can install from NPM @frangoteam/fuxa-min

npm install -g --unsafe-perm @frangoteam/fuxa
fuxa

Open up a browser (better Chrome) and navigate to http://localhost:1881

4° Option - Install using prebuilt Electron Packages

You will need to be logged into github to access the download button for Electron Action Builds, click on the workflow and scroll down to Artifacts and click the download icon for you system

Electron Action Builds

5° Option - Headless Portable Binaries for Embedded Devices

For headless deployments on embedded devices or servers without GUI, FUXA provides self-contained portable binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

These binaries include everything needed (server, client) and run as standalone executables.

Download the latest builds from GitHub Actions artifacts:
