Install Open Horizon

You must install and configure a management hub before you start the Open Horizon node tasks.

Prerequisites for full installation

Ensure that the requirements specified in System requirements are met. The installation can run on the bare hardware or in a VM. The Hub cannot run on arm64-based hardware.

Several files are needed to install the Open Horizon agent on your edge devices and edge clusters and register them with Open Horizon. These agent files are stored in the CSS Cloud Sync Service (CSS) component of the Model Management System (MMS). If you know the components of the Exchange that you want to use, and their IP addresses and ports, you can bundle those edge node files now. However, if you are uncertain of those details, you might want to bundle those files after you install Open Horizon. For more information, see Gather edge node files.
