This document outlines the steps for creating an LF Edge Sandbox account, installing EVE on a hardware device, and selecting and deploying edge applications. It’s designed to enable developers to deploy LF Edge projects for experimentation quickly. By the end of this Getting Started procedure, you will have a fully functional edge node, which will be onboarded to the LF Edge sandbox. You will also have deployed your first edge application to your new edge node. For any help along the way, please see the LF Edge Sandbox support page.
