Ubuntu Server Support

Description

NVRs built and sold by Exacq with Ubuntu Linux use the Ubuntu Desktop release.

Ubuntu is also released in a Ubuntu Server format. The primary difference being that Ubuntu Server does not have a graphical desktop environment and may not include many applications and packages that are installed by default with Ubuntu Desktop.

Ubuntu Server is primarily used in enterprise environments on headless systems and interaction with the operating system is done via CLI. It is possible for exacqVision to be installed on third-party systems running the Ubuntu Server operating system.

IMPORTANT: Ubuntu Server should not be considered for use by those unfamiliar with Linux operating systems. Exacq Support will not provide troubleshooting help with these installations.

Downloading

As Ubuntu Server does not have a GUI, the simplest method of obtaining the installer is the use of the wget command.

  1. Using a separate system with a web browser, navigate to the Exacq.com Software Downloads page.<br><br>
  2. Hovering the cursor over the link for your desired installer, or right-clicking and selecting Copy Link Address will provide you with the URL to use in the following process.<br>
    *Note that the path and the installer file include the version number.<br><br>
  3. Using the CLI of your Ubuntu Server system, use the wget command to download this installer to your system. In the example below, replace the URL with that from your intended link as mentioned in Step 2, above.
    wget &lt;URL&gt; --no-check-certificate<br><br>
  4. Refer to Installing exacqVision Software on 64-bit Ubuntu for the steps to run the installer on your system.<br><br>
  5. After install, you may then connect to and manage the exacqVision Server using the exacqVision Client software installed on another machine on the same network. The Client software may be installed on Linux, Windows, or Mac operating systems.
