Prerequisites

Ensure you are using a Debian-based Linux distribution such as Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 LTS and running on an x86-based micro-architecture. The installation can run on the bare hardware or in a VM. The Hub cannot run on arm64-based hardware.

For installation, you will need to become root, ex. sudo -i

Ensure that you know the public or network facing IP address for the local network that other machines will use to connect to the Management Hub. We will set that IP address as HZN_LISTEN_IP. If you do not set this in advance, other machines will not be able to connect to the hub.

What’s Next

Continue setting up your new management hub by performing the steps in Install Open Horizon.
