Installation

The following section describes how to install the Neuron package on X86/ARM Linux devices.

Download

Neuron software packages can be downloaded from the Neuron website https://neugates.io/downloads according to the actual system.

Version number x.y.z Description:

x is the major version number, which may change if the entire system architecture has been enhanced.
y is the minor version number, which may change if certain additional features exist.
z is the patch number for bug fixes in the Neuron software.

The rpm/deb package uses systemd to manage the neuron process and it is recommended that the rpm/deb package is used in preference.

Linux distribution/device	Required packages
Debian package system Ubuntu 20.xx Ubuntu 18.xx	deb/tar.gz
Redhat package system Contos 8 Centos 9	rpm/tar.gz

This section describes how to install the Neuron software for the first time on a Linux system.

sudo dpkg -i xxx.deb

Install depending on the version, e.g.

sudo dpkg -i neuron-2.0.1-linux-armhf.deb

Note After successful installation of the deb package, Neuron is automatically started.

sudo dpkg -r neuron

sudo rpm -i xxx.rpm --nodeps --force

Install depending on the version, e.g.

sudo rpm -i neuron-2.0.1-linux-armhf.rpm --nodeps --force

Note After successful installation of the rpm package, Neuron is automatically started.

sudo rpm -e neuron

sudo tar -zxvf xxx.tar.gz
cd xxx

Install depending on the version, e.g.

sudo tar -zxvf neuron-2.0.1-linux-armhf.tar.gz
cd neuron-2.0.1-linux-armhf

The following command can be executed to boot from the current terminal：

./neuron

If you want to run as a daemon, you can execute the following command：

./neuron -d

Execute the following command to see all the parameters available on the command line：

./neuron -h

The docker image can be downloaded from the docker hub website.https://hub.docker.com

docker pull neugates/neuron:2.0.0

docker run -d --name neuron -p 7000:7000 -p 7001:7001 --privileged=true --restart=always neugates/neuron:2.0.0

tcp 7000: Used to access the web.
tcp 7001: http api port. (api port is web port + 1, e.g. when web port is mapped to 8000, api port should be mapped to 8001)
—restart=always: Automatically restart the neuron container when the docker process is restarted.
—privileged=true：Easy to troubleshoot problems.
—device /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyS0: Used to map the serial port to docker.

For rpm and deb installations, Neuron can view/start/stop the status with the following commands：

sudo systemctl status neuron

sudo systemctl stop neuron

sudo systemctl restart neuron
