Edison Install

Install the latest image for Edison from the Intel website here:

http://www.intel.com/edison/getstarted

###Build NTK and Copy to the Edison Once your image is installed and running on the Edison, run "npm run build" from your desktop/laptop in the NTK directory:

npm run build

If you have run the server locally previously, delete the "node_modules" directory in the "server" directory as you will have to run "npm install" on the Edison anyway.

Copy the "server" directory over to your Edison.

scp -r ./server root@your.edison.ip.address:~/

Login to your Edison and make sure it is connected to the internet.

Change into the server directory you copied over and run "npm install":

cd ~/server
npm install

###Install Dependencies The Edison does not come with fontconfig installed by default. In order to use the autonomous mode on the Edison you will need this dependency.

http://freetype.org/

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/

Install by compiling the freetype AND fontconfig sources onto the Edison in that order.

Finally, if you want to run NTK without having to be logged in, install "forever":

npm install forever -g

###Running NTK on the Edison To then start NTK in the background, run the following from the server directory:

forever start netlabserver.js edison

Now visit http://your.edison.ip.address:9001 in Chrome in order to access the authoring GUI (ie. http://192.168.1.130:9001).
