# Native Installation (Linux)

The **Native Installation** method is ideal for deploying EasyEdge Node directly on a supported Linux-based device. This approach gives you full control over the environment and is well-suited for industrial gateways, edge servers, or even virtual machines.

## Step-by-Step Guide

### **1. Add a New EdgeNode**

In EasyEdge Studio, open the **System** where the EdgeNode will belong.\
Click **Add EdgeNode** to start the configuration wizard.

### **2. Select the Host Profile**

Choose **Linux Standard** or another profile depending on your device.

### **3. Configure the EdgeNode**

* **Name:** Set a descriptive name
* **Architecture:** Select the CPU architecture of the target device
* **Installation Path:** Set the installation directory (e.g., `/opt/EdgeNode`)

### **4. Set the Target System**

Confirm or change the System. You can also create a new one directly in the wizard.

### **5. Review and Finish**

Check your configuration summary and click **Finish** to generate the install command.

### **6. Run the Installation Command on the Host**

Copy the command generated by EasyEdge Studio and run it on your Linux device.

This will:

* Download all required EdgeNode binaries
* Register the device
* Create system services and finish the setup

### **7. Verify Status in EasyEdge Studio**

Once installation completes, the EdgeNode status will change from **Onboarding** to **Healthy (Stopped)**. It’s now ready to start the project configuration.
