Developer Webcast-Session 5-Deploying the ClearBlade Edge

Introduction

In this session, we will be installing the ClearBlade Edge on a Gateway (it can be your personal computer in this case). We will be modifying the Python code written in Session 4 to function as an adapter. The adapter will publish messages to the MQTT broker running at the edge. The temperature data will then be stored in a Collection on the edge. We will sync relevant assets between the platform and the edge by using a deployment such that our portal will still show incoming data.

Pre-requisites:

Completed Session 4 system or have the .zip file of the system accessible.Have a Mac / Linux terminal (a RaspberryPi will work) with Python3, pip3 and the clearblade PyPi module installed.Windows users will need either:1. A Linux machine / VM you can SSH into (something like a RaspberryPi is fine) OR2. A Windows Store Linux app running on top of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).If using (1) above you will need to install PuTTYIf using (2) above, the most up-to-date instructions on this are here (one modification - rather than the main Ubuntu app, install the "Ubuntu 18.04 LTS" app)Note regarding Ubuntu 18.04:Ubuntu 18.04 LTS comes preinstalled with Python3.6.9 but not pip3. Follow the "Installing pip for Python 3" instructions hereNote on installing the clearblade PyPi module:Install using "pip3 install clearblade".
