## Download the latest Regional_controller artifacts from LF Nexus ##
  
root@regional_controller_vm:/# mkdir -p /opt/akraino/region
 
root@regional_controller_vm:/# NEXUS_URL=https://nexus.akraino.org
 
root@regional_controller_vm:/# curl -L "$NEXUS_URL/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=snapshots&g=org.akraino.regional_controller&a=regional_controller&v=0.0.2-SNAPSHOT&e=tgz" | tar -xozv -C /opt/akraino/region

Change to the /opt/akraino/region directory and run the start_regional_controller.sh script:

root@regional_controller_vm:/# cd /opt/akraino/region/

root@regional_controller_vm:/# ./start_akraino_portal.sh

This will also take 10 to 20 minutes. 

A successful installation will end with the following message:

...
  
Setting up tempest content/repositories
Setting up ONAP content/repositories
Setting up sample vnf content/repositories
Setting up airshipinabottle content/repositories
Setting up redfish tools content/repositories
SUCCESS:  Portal can be accessed at http://10.51.34.230:8080/AECPortalMgmt/
SUCCESS:  Portal install completed

Note: The enumerated IP shown (10.51.34.230) is an example 'host' address for a RC deployed in a validation lab.

The Regional Controller Node installation is now complete.

At this point there will be one new directories where the cloned NC artifacts have been created.

root@regional_controller_vm:/# ls /opt/akraino/
 
region

Please note: It will be necessary to generate rsa keys on the newly commissioned RC which must then be copied and inserted into the 'genesis_ssh_public_key' attribute in site input yaml file used when subsequently deploying each Unicycle pod at any edge site controlled by the newly built RC. This will be covered in the Unicycle installation instructions.

Accessing the new Regional Controller's Portal UI

During the  installation a UI will have been installed on the newly deployed RC. This UI will be used to subsequently deploy all Rover and Unicycle pods to edge locations. The RC's portal can be opened in Chrome via the portal URL http://TARGET_SERVER_IP:8080/AECPortalMgmt/ where TARGET_SERVER_IP is the RC's 'host' IP address. Note: IE or Edge browsers may not currently work with this UI.

Use the following credentials:

• Username: akadmin
• Password: akraino

Upon successful login, the Akraino Portal home page will appear.
