• Custom App SDK (includes custom app template and utility scripts)

Utility Scripts

• copy-to-conduit.sh takes a directory and ip address then copies the entire directory to /media/card/ on the Conduit^®. This can be used if you want to try manually installing and running your app without app-manager.
• install-to-conduit.sh takes a directory and ip address. It tars up the app, copies it to /media/card/ on the Conduit, then uses app-manager to manually install the app (bypassing DeviceHQ).

Create the Tarball Package

$ cd <your_top_level_app_directory>
$ tar --hard-dereference -hczf <path_to_create_tgz>.tgz *

Manual Installation

1. Copy the tarball package to /media/card/ (installation will fail if the archive is in the root file system)

   $ scp <your_tarball> admin@<your_conduit_ip>:/media/card/

2. Install the app:

   $ app-manager --command local --apptype CUSTOM --appname <your_app_name> --appfile /media/card/<your_tarball>

3. NOTE: You must uninstall a manually installed app before installing the same app through DeviceHQ:
   1. Via the Conduit UI’s Apps page
   2. Via the command line:

      $ app-manager --command remove --appid LOCAL

Starting and Stopping

• Via the Conduit UI’s Apps page
• Via the command line:

  $ app-manager --command start --appid LOCAL
  $ app-manager --command restart --appid LOCAL
  $ app-manager --command stop --appid LOCAL

• Via the Conduit UI’s Apps page:
  • Shows the name, version, status, and info fields for all installed apps.
  • To see description, hover mouse over the app name.
  • To see version notes, hover over the version.
• Via the command line:
