1. How the installer works
The provided installer is designed to install the OriginTrail Edge Node on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and 24.04 LTS distributions.
When the installation process is finalized, you will be provided with the following Edge Node services deployed to your Linux server:
Each Edge Node service will have its required runtime environment and dependencies properly configured. This includes the installation and setup of Node.js (with npm), Python, MySQL, Redis, and Apache Airflow.
