Using binary distribution

Picking the right distribution

Installing Patchwork Toolkit from the binary distribution is probably the fastest way to get started. Please, visit the Github Releases Page and select the latest stable release of the toolkit. Find there the .zip or a .tar.gz distribution that corresponds to the platform you're planning to deploy the Patchwork. The distribution name includes the suffix linux, darwin or windows, and an architecture type amd64, arm or i386. If you don't see the distribution for your platform let us know.

Installation

Download the distribution and unarchive it into the prefered location on your target machine. The distribution folder will have the following structure:

conf/
conf/device-gateway.json
conf/device-catalog.json
conf/service-catalog.json
conf/devices/
conf/devices/dummy.json
conf/devices/system.json
agent-examples/
agent-examples/<examples of device agents>
device-gateway or device-gateway.exe
device-catalog or device-catalog.exe
service-catalog or service-catalog.exe

What's next?

You can start exploring the directory structure of the toolkit and try to execute the binaries or, which is highly recommendable, proceed to Getting Started guide and follow the tutorial.
