Installation on Linux requires basic knowledge of using the terminal. If you do not already have Linux installed as an operating system, please complete these steps before continuing:
The Scout Agent can be installed on NVIDIA Jetson devices such as the Nano, TX-1, and TX-2. These are excellent options for an edge device due to the power-efficient, embedded GPU. Native binaries are available for JetPack versions 4.3-4.6. The recommended package for other JetPack versions is the Jetson Docker image.
JetPack 4.3.0-4.6.x : follow Linux install instructions
JetPack 5.1.X: pull the following Docker image:
docker pull openalpr/agent:5.0.0-jetson51-sdk
Note that both native and Docker installations will automatically include the additional GPU packages. Therefore, you will not need to reference the GPU acceleration section of the documentation. When installing via Docker, make sure you have NVIDIA Docker Runtime available so that the container can access the host GPU. You will also need to modify any Docker run commands.
docker run --runtime nvidia -e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,video [other_flags] [image_tag] [command]
