      Here are some instructions on how to install the necessary programs for using the LabVIEW-based interactive examples. You will need the Connexions virunner helper application and the LabVIEW 7 Run-Time Engine. Once you have everything set up, you should be able to click on the "Run" link of the examples, and the helper app will run the demonstration for you.

        If you are running Linux on a PC, then you can use this <link src="virunner-0.1-1.noarch.rpm">RPM package</link> to install the Connexions virunner helper application. You will also need to have your browser associate the MIME-type application/x-labview-viinfo (extension .viinfo) with the program <code>virunner.py</code>. The helper application requires your system to have Python.
