Recommended for most users. The scripts perform all installation and update steps automatically.

Installation#

After unpacking the archive, run the installer script:

tar -xvzf "$(ls docker_aiserver_client_files_*.tgz | sort -V | tail -n 1)"
cd sh_scripts && chmod +x *.sh && cd ..
sudo ./sh_scripts/install.sh

The script will guide you through all steps: selecting the AI model, loading Docker images, setting up the environment, and starting services.


Manual installation. If you prefer to install the system manually or need full control over every step — follow the instructions below.


Unpacking client files#

At this step you will unpack the client files archive and prepare the system for installation.

Unpack the client files archive#

# Automatically select and unpack the latest archive
tar -xvzf "$(ls docker_aiserver_client_files_*.tgz | sort -V | tail -n 1)"
💡 Notes about unpacking the archive

tar -xvzf "$(ls docker_aiserver_client_files_*.tgz | sort -V | tail -n 1)" — unpacks the client files archive

  • tar -xvzf - unpack with verbose output
  • ls docker_aiserver_client_files_*.tgz - finds archive files
  • sort -V - natural version sort
  • tail -n 1 - selects the most recent file

Expected result: A sh_scripts/ directory with executable scripts and other required files will be created.

Prepare scripts for execution#

cd sh_scripts/ && chmod +x *.sh && cd ..
