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.

MacOS and Linux

1. Open your terminal. Ensure you are in your preferred directory for this operation. This procedure assumes HOME.

cd $HOME

2. Make an eve-overrides directory, which will contain your server endpoint configuration.

mkdir eve-overrides

3. Set the LF Edge Sandbox cluster endpoint by writing its URL to a text file named "server".

echo https://sandboxcloud.lfedge.org > $HOME/eve-overrides/server

...

Windows OS

1. Open your terminal. Ensure you are in your preferred directory for this operation. This procedure assumes HOMEPATH.

cd %HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH

2. Make an eve-overrides directory, which will contain your server endpoint configuration.

mkdir eve-overrides

3. Set the LF Edge Sandbox cluster endpoint by writing its URL to a text file named "server".

echo https://sandboxcloud.lfedge.org > %HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH%\eve-overrides\server

You will need to input the unique soft serial number of your edge node (created automatically during EVE-OS installation). The soft serial number gets written to the USB stick during installation, or you can `cat soft_serial` from inside the EVE-OS /config directory. If you plug the USB stick into your laptop after installation, you'll find the serial number as the directory name in the INVENTORY partition. On MacOS, it should look something like this:

<NEED TO INSERT AN IMAGE>Image Added

3: Use the GUI to onboard your edge node.
