AirStack Edge Installation

This documentation will walk you through installing AirStack Edge on your device. Installation only needs to be done once per Edge instance. Upgrades to the software can be done in place and will not replace configuration files, model libraries, authentication keys, or licensing unless requested.

Installation

Download the AirStack Edge release from the Deepwave Developer Portal. The release needs to be moved to your Edge device (e.g., AIR-T) and unpacked using:

tar -xzvf airstack-edge-{version}.tgz

Once you have unpacked the release, navigate to the created directory, cd airstack-edge, and install the debian file using:

sudo dpkg -i ./airstack-edge_{version}.deb

This will install the software to the device and place configuration information in /etc/airstack-edge/. Once you have installed the AirStack Edge software you may use the airstack-edge-setup command line interface (CLI) tool to configure the installation. See the Configuration section for more details.

Update

AirStack Edge updates may be downloaded from the Deepwave Developer Portal. You may also use dpkg to install an updated version. The system will automatically detect the existing installation and perform an in-place upgrade:

sudo dpkg -i airstack-edge_{new_version}.deb

Uninstall

If you need to remove AirStack Edge from your system, you may do so using apt:

sudo apt remove airstack-edge

The above command removes the application binaries but leaves behind configuration files, logs, container images, and user data. This is useful if you plan to reinstall the software later.

If you wish to also remove those extra files, use the following command:

sudo apt purge airstack-edge
