Installing AKCP Quicklime on Linux
While many users run Quicklime on Windows, Linux remains a favorite for robust, headless server deployments. In this video tutorial, we walk you through the process of installing Quicklime on a Linux system. Here is a breakdown of how to get your environment up and running.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have a compatible Linux environment. AKCP officially recommends Ubuntu Linux for this installation. You can run these commands directly on the machine or perform a headless installation remotely via SSH.
Installation Process
Installing Quicklime is remarkably straightforward and requires just a few commands in your Linux terminal.
Initial Setup and Login
With the backend installed, you can leave the command line behind. The remainder of the setup takes place in your web browser.
Access the Dashboard: Open a web browser (Google Chrome is recommended) and enter the IP address displayed at the end of your installation.
Log In: You will be greeted by the Quicklime login screen. Use the default credentials:
Username:
adminPassword:
public
Configure Your Interface: Once logged in, you can change your default password, begin adding your sensorProbe+ devices, and start building your 2D and 3D data center digital twins.
Whether you install Quicklime on Linux or Windows, the user interface and functionality are exactly the same. From here, you have full access to Quicklime’s AI-assisted configuration, thermal mapping, and access control features.
