Troubleshooting

If the following error is encountered:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/esb-cli/Edge_Insights_for_Autonomous_Mobile_Robots_2021.3/output.log'
Run the CLI commands with sudo:
sudo ./edgesoftware  <CLI_commands>

Install Package Modules

This edgesoftware command installs package modules on the target system. To do so, the command looks at
edgesoftware_configuration.xml
 that was downloaded from the Intel Edge Software Hub when you installed the Edge Insights for Autonomous Mobile Robots software. This file contains information about the modules to install.
During the installation, you will be prompted to enter your product key. The product key is in the email message you received from Intel confirming your Edge Insights for Autonomous Mobile Robots download.
Do not manually edit
edgesoftware_configuration.xml
.
  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Go to the
    edge_insights_for_amr
     directory.
  3. Run the install command:
    ./edgesoftware install

Update the Package Modules

On a fresh Linux* installation, you might need to use the
install
 command at least once before performing an update.
install
 makes sure all dependencies and packages are installed on the target system. 
./edgesoftware install
When you are ready to perform the update, use:
./edgesoftware update <MODULE_ID>
During the installation, you will be prompted to enter your product key. The product key is in the email message you received from Intel confirming your Edge Insights for Autonomous Mobile Robots download.
To find the module ID, use: 
./edgesoftware list -d

Export the Package for Installation

The edgesoftware CLI lets you package the installed modules, customer applications, and dependencies as part of a package. The export is provided in a
.zip
 file that includes installation scripts, XML files, and an edgesoftware Python* executable.
Command:
./edgesoftware export

Uninstall the Packages

The edgesoftware CLI lets you uninstall the complete package or individual components from the package.
To uninstall an individual package, run the following command:
./edgesoftware uninstall <MODULE_ID>
To uninstall all the packages, run the following command:
./edgesoftware uninstall -a
This command will not uninstall Docker* Compose and Docker* Community Edition (CE).
