edge_without_snapd.sh

# Ensure that package dependencies are met (specifically python3, libsnmp-dev, and python3-netifaces)

# Create user under which software will be run.
# Enter user directory. In this example this is /opt/datalog

# Pull the codebade
git clone https://github.com/ammpio/ammp-edge.git

# Install python package
cd ammp-edge
./setup.py install --user

# One of the lines should be as follows:
# > Installing ammp_edge script to /opt/datalog/.local/bin
# After that one, dependencies will be installed

# Make some required symlinks to configuration and driver files
cd ..
ln -s ammp-edge/remote.yml
ln -s ammp-edge/drivers/

# Also expose the executable (now in /opt/datalog/bin/ammp_edge)
ln -s .local/bin/


# Create a service that will run the software. Put the following text in a new file
# /etc/systemd/system/ammp-edge.service
