If you are using the VSSL hosted Raspberry Pi image, then the VSSL agent is already installed. You don't need to follow the below instructions.

  1. install snapd on your system. For a Debian based system:

    sudo apt-get install snapd

  2. install the vsslagent using snap (e.g.

    sudo snap install vsslagent

  3. your Linux host will now listen for REST requests on port 8000

Note: This instructions will change based on your Linux distribution and installed package manager.
