Development environment Setup
Follow the below listed instructions to easily set up your development environment.
Before being able to start developing your own applications for AuterionOS(AOS) you have to make sure to satisfy the following requirements:
- Have access to a PC running either Ubuntu or macOS.
To deploy, test and run your applications you will also need a device running AOS:
Other linux distributions like Fedora or Arch, as well as Windows platforms may work, but are not officially supported.
Auterion Command Line Interface(CLI) was developed to enhance the entire Auterion application development process. This tool can be easily installed with the help of the python package installer (pip). Therefore, before running the next installation step, make sure that you have pip installed and running on your development system.
Ubuntu
macOS
pip3 install auterion-cli
pip3 install auterion-cli
Once the installation is completed, verify that the tool has been successfully installed and it is working properly by running the following command:
Ubuntu
macOS
auterion-cli --version
user@pc:~$ auterion-cli --version
1.3.0
If this is not the case, make certain that your local user directory
~/.local/bin is correctly added to your PATH.auterion-cli --version
user@mac:~$ auterion-cli --version
1.3.0
If this is not the case, make certain that your local user directory
~/.local/bin is correctly added to your PATH.For a detailed explanation of Auterion CLI and its command reference, please refer to:
Resources - Auterion CLI Reference
As mentioned in the prerequisites section, the application development workflow relies on docker. it is important that your machine is capable of running docker images for
linux/arm64 platforms.You can verify that this is the case by running the following command:
docker run --rm -it --platform=linux/arm64 ubuntu:latest
If this command results in an error, make sure that Docker and QEMU are correctly installed and set up on your system.
Ubuntu
macOS
- sudo apt install qemu binfmt-support qemu-user-static
- Setup docker to use QEMU:docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes
Now that you have a working development environment, head to the next section to learn how to connect to an AOS device.
