Local UI

The default method to manage Arc is through the parent system software. However, it is also possible to manage Arc through a local UI.

Local UI — Figure 1. Local UI

The local user interface (UI) has these sections:

To access the Settings page, you can select the icon.

To log out, you can select the icon.

The main method to manage Arc is through the system that it connects to. This can be:

Guardian
CMC, or
Vantage

Default settings are set for Arc the moment that it is deployed. However, you can access the local UI, which is in the form of a web server, if you need to:

Check the status of Arc locally
Change the settings after Arc has been downloaded
Run it locally during a manual deployment

To get access to the local UI, you can:

Double-click the executable file, or
From a shell, invoke it from a terminal without a parameter, with a command like .\arc-windows-amd64.exe

Note:

On macOS, before you can open the local UI, you might need to enable Arc in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.

Note:

To use the commands install and uninstall, you must run the local UI with admin rights. When you double-click the executable file, a request for admin rights will be made. In Windows, and additional prompt will show when you do this. To have full control, use the shell.

When you do this, Arc will open a page in your default browser at the address http://127.0.0.1:4510

Note:

If the port 4510 is in use, the first open port above 4510 will be used.

Note:

To open the browser page automatically, you need to consider:

That the browser will only open when a default browser is installed and configured
That the double-click action will only work if the application is recognized as an executable. For Linux and macOS, this means that it needs to be associated to the Terminal (shell) application
For Ubuntu distribution, you can only open the browser when the package xdg-utils is installed
For Linux, the root user cannot open a browser, so you must not open the local UI as root
If the browser does not open for one of the reasons listed above, you can open the browser and page manually

Note:

Closing the browser won’t unlock the process. Make sure that you escape from your command line so that you can execute more operations on your executable.
