Installation

You can complete the following types of Open Horizon installation:

• Full installation - Install all Open Horizon components. For a list of components, see Components.
• Install the management hub only - Install the Open Horizon management hub, the horizon-cli package, and an agent. For more information, see Installing the management hub only.
• Custom installations - You can override particular aspects of the platform installation. You can install versions other than the latest, install custom sample services, and more. You use the deploy-mgmt-hub.sh script for custom installations. For example, the following command installs the horizon-cli package, but not the Open Horizon agent package. The command also doesn't register the edge node or load the custom sample services, policies, and patterns.

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-horizon/devops/master/mgmt-hub/deploy-mgmt-hub.sh | bash -s -- -A -R -E

To read about the script and the flags that you can use, see https://github.com/open-horizon/devops/blob/master/mgmt-hub/deploy-mgmt-hub.sh.
