Welcome to FLECS!

This guide will walk you through the basics of setting up your account, installing FLECS, and getting your first app up and running.

Step 1: Create Your FLECS Account

  • Duration: Less than 2 minutes

  • Purpose: To install apps on your FLECS-based device, you need a marketplace account.

  • Benefits: Start with a 30-day trial offering a free device license, which you will activate manually.

  • Steps:

    1. Enter your email, first name, and last name.

    2. Agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy.

    3. Click "Register".

    4. Check your email for a confirmation message and verify your email address.

  • Outcome: You now have a FLECS account! Proceed to activate your trial.

Step 2: Activate Your 30-Day Trial

  • Duration: Less than 1 minute

  • Purpose: Activate your trial to begin your FLECS experience.

  • Steps:

    1. Add the trial to your cart.

    2. Proceed to checkout and confirm the order at no cost.

Outcome: Your 30-day trial is activated. Welcome aboard—you’re all set to dive into FLECS!

Note: If you haven’t created an account yet, you can do so during the checkout process while activating your trial.

Step 3: Install FLECS

  • Duration: Less than 10 minutes (varies with internet speed)

  • Instructions:

    1. Access the terminal of your device (via Putty or directly).

    2. Enter curl -fsSL install.flecs.tech | bash in the terminal.

    3. Ensure your device is connected to the internet during installation.

  • Outcome: FLECS is successfully installed on your device!

  • Evaluate FLECS on your Windows PC or MAC: For those looking to use FLECS on a Linux system within a virtual machine on Windows or macOS, make sure you have a functioning Linux environment set up first. Detailed instructions on installing Linux Ubuntu on a virtual machine for both Windows and macOS are available in our Installing Linux Ubuntu on a Virtual Machine Guide. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a virtual machine and preparing it for the FLECS installation.

Step 4: Install Your First App

  • Duration: Less than 5 minutes (varies with internet speed)

  • Steps:

    1. Open your device’s browser and enter its IP address or hostname. If needed, add :8080 or :8008 to the URL.

    2. On the FLECS web interface, select 'Marketplace' from the menu.

    3. Log in using your account credentials created in Step 1.

    4. Browse the apps: 'Installable' (with "install" and "uninstall" options) and 'Unavailable' (with a "request" option).

    5. Find and install the Node-RED app. Your 100 trial tickets should cover this.

    6. After installation, return to 'Apps' to open Node-RED in a new tab.

  • Outcome: Your first app is installed and ready to use on FLECS!
