Data migrations when upgrading are currently in development. |
Our latest software package contains a handy uninstall script that allows you to quickly remove Edge ACM and all of AUTOSOL’s software utilities from your device.
You will need to gain SSH access to your device in order to run the uninstall program. SSH access is out of the scope of this guide, so we will not go into much detail here.
Once you have access to a terminal connected to the device, you can run the uninstall.sh script from any location as long as you give the full path to it.

Connecting
In order to connect to a Linux Edge device, you will need to have SSH access to the host.

Before you begin: the initial installation of Edge ACM will require the installer to download multiple dependencies. Internet access is required for the initial installation. |
Preparing for the Package
Run the following command to confirm your systems package list is current to ensure we can download all needed components:

sudo apt-get update |
Transferring the Package
You will need to transfer AUTOSOL’s .deb package over to your board.
There’s many ways of doing it, but a very popular one is using an SFTP client program like WinSCP to transfer the file from your computer.
You can also install SCP programs for Windows, Linux, or other operating systems.

Default Settings
On new installations you will be prompted about entering default values for this unit. Responding n to the first question will continue the installation as per usual.
| Code Block |

Would you like to set default values for this Edge Node? (y/n) y |
These values will stay in the .ini file across installs. See Defaults Explained further below for details.
Once the installation is complete, visit the IP of your box device on port 8080 to see the AUTOSOL App Edge Manager web configuration page where you can configure all AUTOSOL software applications like Edge ACM.
Uninstalling old packages
It is possible that you have an older package installed. Newer packages are named autosol, this includes the underlying service running on Linux as well as the filename.
Older packages were named appmanager. These packages do not have an uninstall program available and you will need to uninstall and disable it manually.
You will need SSH access to the board. Once you are connected. Run the following commands as per your platform.
ZumIQ
The ZumIQ has some small differences from the generic install
| Code Block |

Postgres password
On versions older than 3.4.5.0, you will need to set your Postgres password. The installer will show a message with the following instructions.
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo -u postgres psql ASIServerDB
ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'postgres';
\q
/usr/apps/ASIEdgeManager/core/restart |
Note: if you don’t want to use the password ‘postgres’ you will need to modify config.ini in /usr/apps/ASIEdgeManager/core
Troubleshooting
The installer doesn’t have enough space despite room on the local drive, you may need to increase your tmp storage. Run the following:
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo mount -o remount,size=200000000 /tmp |
On first install, Postgres returns errors such as:
"Could not migrate to db."
"Verify Postgres is running.”
“Postgres must have a password."
If so, view the Troubleshooting Postgres Errors before finishing installation.
If the webserver doesn’t start or allow access, run the restart script to check for errors:
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo /usr/apps/ASIEdgeManager/core/restart |
If python errors appear, there may be an issue with our dependencies vs. the system packages. You can complete the install by running:
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo python3 -m pip install -r /usr/apps |
...
/ASIEdgeManager/core/requirements.txt --break-system-packages |
