Deploy Arc Embedded manually in Service mode without a local UI

You can manually deploy Arc Embedded to run in Service mode without a local user interface (UI).

Before you begin

Make sure that you have downloaded an Arc package.

Procedure

  1. Use secure shell (SSH) to log in to the target machine.
  2. If the folder /usr/local/sbin does not exist, create it.
    Important:
    You can choose a different location, but make sure that only administrator accounts have write access. This is to prevent standard users from modifying the folder’s contents.
  3. Copy the Arc ZIP package into the folder /usr/local/sbin/arc
  4. Extract the contents of the ZIP archive into the folder /usr/local/sbin/arc
  5. To register Arc as a service (daemon), enter this command: ./arc-linux-arm install
    Note:
    This example assumes that the Arc package you downloaded is arc-linux-arm
  6. Optional: For Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R only. If your Guardian doesn't have the libmelco package installed, then you can install it manually.
    Note:
    If an upstream Guardian has the libmelco package, it will be automatically installed. However, if the upstream Guardian is air-gapped, you will need to manually install it.
  7. To start Arc, enter the command: ./arc-linux-arm start

Results

The Arc sensor is now running from /usr/local/sbin/arc and you can view collected data in Guardian or Vantage.
