Copy Ignition from Laptop to Pi:

scp -i $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_ed25519 "C:\Users\DrWaq\Downloads\Ignition-Edge-linux-aarch-64-8.1.48.zip" WA@<your-pi-ip>:~

Install & Start Ignition:

 you’ve successfully accessed the Ignition Edge web interface and are at the final setup step! Here’s what to do next:

To Complete Setup:

1. Review Port Settings (You can keep defaults unless):
   • HTTP Port 8088: Standard web interface
   • HTTPS Port 8043: Secure web interface
   • Gateway Network Port 8060: For inter-gateway communication
2. Click “Finish Setup”
   This will initialize the gateway and create the admin account.

Critical Next Steps After Clicking “Finish Setup”:

1. Set Admin Credentials
   You’ll be prompted to create your administrator account.
   Recommendation: Use a strong password and note it down.
2. Install Required Modules
   Go to Configure > Modules and install:
   • OPC UA (for device connectivity)
   • MQTT Engine (for IoT messaging)
   • Perspective (for modern HMIs)
   • Any other modules you need
3. Configure System Settings
   Go to Configure > System > Settings to:
   • Set Gateway Name
   • Configure Backups
   • Set Time Zone
4. Enable HTTPS (Recommended)
   Go to Configure > Security > Certificates to install a proper SSL certificate.
