Installation and Setup

We strongly recommend to use our build scripts and if you cross develop then use our prebuilt images together with the associated SDKs (software development kit). These images already contain the necessary libraries. All you have to do is build your own application and deploy it.

The installation instructions below presume that you have minimal knowledge of basic commands in Linux, such as navigating the file system and creating and editing files. There is plenty on good online help, e.g. http://korflab.ucdavis.edu/bootcamp.html.
