NEPI tutorials

Step-by-step guides from first connection to building complete edge AI and automation applications.

These tutorials walk you through installing NEPI on your device for the first time. Follow them if you are setting up a new device or have not yet installed the NEPI software.

If NEPI is already installed on your device, you do not need to install it again. You can move straight on to the Using NEPI tutorials to start working with your device.

When you are ready, open the NEPI Install tutorial below. It offers two setups:

  • Lite - a lightweight install for fast evaluation and development, ideal for learning and prototyping.
  • Full - the complete production install for a dedicated NEPI device.
Warning: Only run the Full install on a dedicated NEPI device. Do not install it on your personal or general-purpose computer, as it takes over system-level services such as networking, SSH, and storage. To try NEPI on your own PC, use the Lite setup instead.

Once NEPI is installed, these guides help you operate and configure your device:

  • Connecting - connect a PC to your NEPI device and reach its user interface, shared drive, file system, and the internet.
  • Setup - manage licenses, save and access data, update and back up the system, and set up a Wi-Fi hotspot.
  • Examples - end-to-end walkthroughs, such as running an AI detector on a camera stream.

Go beyond configuration and work with the NEPI software itself:

  • Develop - set up a remote development environment and build the NEPI Engine software from source.
