Installation

Download the latest version

You can download AMC from Auterion Suite.

Installers of Auterion Mission Control are provided for Android, Ubuntu Linux, Windows and MacOS. These can be installed locally on the different host operating systems using the system's usual methods.

Supported OS Versions

The following minimum or later OS versions are supported.

Android

The Android installer is provided as an Android Package Kit/APK file (e.g.: file extension .apk).

To install and run AMC:

1. Enable APK installation on your device. The setting to use depends on the version of Android - it might be

   • Settings > Security > Device Administration > Enable Unknown Sources

   • Settings > Security and Lock Screen > Device Administration > Enable Unknown Sources

   • Settings > Apps and Notifications > Install Unknown Apps

   • Settings > Apps and Notifications > Install Other Apps

   If none of those options are available check the documentation for your device.

2. Install the APK file using the standard installer (just acknowledge all prompts)

3. Run AMC from the device launcher.

4. The first time it is run, acknowledge the prompts to grant location and media permissions.

   

   

Ubuntu Linux

AMC comes in two different flavours of installation:

• AMC App Image

  • This method is simple and doesn't require running any scripts or unpacking zip files.

• AMC Installer

  • This method involves unpacking a zip file and running a script to install the necessary dependencies.

Let's take a closer look at each.

AMC App Image

To use the App Image you must run the following commands before

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install fuse 
sudo apt -y remove modemmanager
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

Those are required to install and enable the right permission for the user to run AMC.

AMC Installer

The Ubuntu installer is provided as a zip file containing a Linux Script file (e.g., file extension: AppImage.zip).

Required Packages:

To use the installer, Ubuntu must have the following packages installed:

• zenity

• nautilus

Both packages are included in the standard Ubuntu distribution. Verify the packages have not been removed from your distribution/setup.

Required Configuration

Configure the Gnome environment. The configuration described below is the default on Ubuntu. Follow these steps to verify the configuration.

1. Select Preferences in the file manager (Files in Ubuntu), then the Behavior tab.

2. In the "Executable Text Files" section, select the "Run them" option.

3. Close Preferences.

Installer

The AMC installer simplifies setting up AMC on remote control units, both with and without a keyboard. Users can complete the installation using just clicks (or taps) and double clicks (or double-taps). The installer is compatible with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and the Gnome desktop environment. Please follow the steps from within Nautilus/Files rather than directly from the Desktop, as the latter may not function correctly.

1. Download Auterion Mission Control vX.XX.X for Linux. This will download a ZIP file.

2. Extract the ZIP content

   1. Double-click on the .zip file to view the archive contents

   2. Select the script file and click 'Extract'

   3. Confirm the operation and the output directory

3. The installation script with the .sh file extension is self-contained. The script already has executable permissions, ie. the execute flag '+x' is already set.

4. Double-click on the script to run. A progress bar will display the installation status.

5. After a successful installation, the folder where AMC is installed will be opened.

6. An AMC Desktop icon is created (see Note 1 below). AMC will have a default, blank icon because AMC is not yet a trusted application. Follow these steps to enable the AMC icon. These are required for the first AMC installation only.

   1. Double-click on the icon

   2. Mark AMC as a trusted application

   3. The icon changes with the AMC logo

The AMC installer also integrates with the Ubuntu Search Bar.

NOTE: v.X.XX.X is the version number (ie. v1.12.0)
