Installing the edge daemon (edged + edgectl)

The edge relay daemon edged and its control CLI edgectl are shipped as standalone per-arch release assets — like autonomy, autonomy-orchestrator, and autonomy-gui — and are also bundled inside the release tarballs. Use whichever install path matches how you consume ADK.

Paid: scripted install (recommended)

Install both binaries from the standalone release assets:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autonomyops/adk/main/scripts/install-edge.sh | bash

Environment knobs (same shape as install.sh / install-orchestrator.sh):

• VERSION — release tag to install (default: latest)

• INSTALL_DIR — destination directory (default: /usr/local/bin)

• ONLY — install just edged or just edgectl

• GITHUB_TOKEN — private-repo / rate-limit relief

The script downloads edged-<os>-<arch> + edgectl-<os>-<arch>, verifies each against its .sha256 sidecar, and installs them.

Paid: manual download

V=<release-tag>; OSARCH=linux-amd64
for b in edged edgectl; do
  curl -fLO "https://github.com/autonomyops/adk/releases/download/${V}/${b}-${OSARCH}"
  curl -fLO "https://github.com/autonomyops/adk/releases/download/${V}/${b}-${OSARCH}.sha256"
  # the .sha256 sidecar already contains "<hash>  <filename>", so -c checks it directly
  sha256sum -c "${b}-${OSARCH}.sha256"
  install -m 0755 "${b}-${OSARCH}" "/usr/local/bin/${b}"
done

They’re also members of adk_<version>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz if you already have the paid tarball.

Community Edition: from the CE tarball

edged/edgectl ride in the same adk_ce_* tarball CE uses. Install them alongside the CLI with --with-edge (or WITH_EDGE=1):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autonomyops/adk/main/scripts/install-ce.sh | bash -s -- --with-edge

Run under systemd

Once installed, wire up the daemon with the shipped unit template — it expects edged on PATH:

# deploy/systemd/edged.service.template → /etc/systemd/system/edged.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now edged
edgectl status

See mesh propagation for how edged picks up staged bundles during a rollout.
