Installing Edge Manager

1 Connecting | 2 Installing | 3 Troubleshooting

Connecting

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

See Get started with OpenSSH for Windows for more info on installing Windows SSH/SCP tools. Tools like Putty or WinSCP are also very useful.

Installing

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 device. Use the SCP tools described above to accomplish this

If you are using SCP, replace username and 10.10.10.10 with the appropriate user and IP address for your device.

scp autosol_3.5.5.0-generic_all.deb username@10.10.10.10:

Installing the Package

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

sudo apt install /path/to/autosol_3.5.5.0-generic_all.deb

You will need to give the full or relative path to the AUTOSOL .deb package

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.

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 device on port 8080 to see the AUTOSOL Edge Manager web configuration page.

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.

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:

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:

If python errors appear, there may be an issue with our dependencies vs. the system packages. You can complete the install by running:

If it fails for any other reason, visit the Troubleshooting section for more information.
