Hi all! I installed the latest version of OpenPDC (v2.9.148) on a Linux Debian 9. Opening the web interface, I see that everything works, but there is no button to create an Output Stream. I saw that in the OpenPDC files there is an executable → CreateOutputStream.exe But when I try to open with Mono I have no success. Could anyone help? ![2022-08-09 12_58_03-Window](https://gridbits.gridprotectionalliance.org/uploads/default/original/2X/e/ee7f224faa4fc29a1254ef11878de31d9ab5102f.png) ![2022-08-09 12_59_14-Window](https://gridbits.gridprotectionalliance.org/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7ee58edaea0f9ae10c593d8258b9a00f80d4d8c5.png) ---

That screen has not been ported to the web UI yet. You will still need to use the openPDC Manager for that task - you can currently only use the manager on Windows as it is a WPF application. That said, you should be able to run the manager on Windows connected to your database on Linux - and even connect the Windows-based manager application to the running Linux-based openPDC service. Here are some instructions - see later chapters on “Updating Configuration Using the openPDC Manager”: [https://gpags.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/TeamSite/\_layouts/15/WopiFrame.aspx?guestaccesstoken=ADyQzHPxsfTh9qs4glPelL78SoBA1pTJV1%2FWy6b0ct4%3D&docid=08819043371f24a089e4924e86525dd69&action=view](https://gpags.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/TeamSite/_layouts/15/WopiFrame.aspx?guestaccesstoken=ADyQzHPxsfTh9qs4glPelL78SoBA1pTJV1%2fWy6b0ct4%3d&docid=08819043371f24a089e4924e86525dd69&action=view) Thanks, Ritchie ---

Ok Ritchie, Thanks for your instructions. ---

Also, for reference, you can use `CreateOutputStream` with a CSV to create an output stream - but there currently no instructions, just code - but you can infer needed columns from the source code: >
