Download Release​

  2. Extract the software package and enter the directory.

    unzip Bitstreams_Edge_v2.6.0_x86.zip
    cd  ~/Bitstreams_Edge_v2.6.0_x86.zip

Install Script​

  1. Use the quick install script as shown below:

    warning

    It is not possible for the edge_quick_installer.py script to automatically upgrade the Quadra VPU, if an upgrade is attempted the install script will fail. To avoid this you will need to skip the firmware upgrade with the --skip-firmware-upgrade parameter.

    # Basic usage
    ./edge_quick_installer.py <ipv4Addr> {http,https} --skip-firmware-upgrade

    # Example installation
    ./edge_quick_installer.py 10.0.100.10 http --skip-firmware-upgrade

    # For advanced features and to view all options
    ./edge_quick_installer.py -h

  2. Run the installation script using the basic install process ./edge_quick_installer.py 10.0.100.10 http --skip-firmware-upgrade, where you replace 10.0.100.10 with your server's IP address.

  3. Follow the instructions in the installation script to complete the process.

  4. Once the installation is complete and successful, you should see:
