Connecting

In order to connect to a Linux Edge device, specific software must be installed.

Terminal Software

Most steps in the installation will be run via the command terminal and can be accessed on a remote terminal using free software like Putty (https://www.putty.org/). In the default configuration, Linux is accessed via an SSH connection to port 22. The default username and password vary by manufacturer.

File Transfer Software

While SCP (Secure Copy) can be used from the command line, many people prefer to use a simple GUI to transfer files in a manner more similar to using Windows Explorer. WinSCP (https://winscp.net/eng/download.php) is a piece of free software that allows an SCP connection via that same port 22, allowing you to copy our installer to your Linux system.

Installing

Info

Before you begin: the initial installation of eACM will require the installer to download multiple dependencies. Internet access is required for the initial installation.

Installing the Package

Once you have transferred the package, run the following Linux command to begin the installation:

Once the installation is complete, visit the IP of your computer on port 8080 to see the AUTOSOL App Manager web configuration page.

Possible Errors During Install

If the installer doesn’t have enough space despite room on the local drive, you may need to increase your tmp storage. Run the following:
