Installing the Operating Environment

Install the required dependencies to provide the environment for deploying WAAS Booster.

For the root user, directly run the following commands. For a common user, add sudo before the following commands to elevate the permission.

Install the dependencies required for running the software.
1

yum install -y python rpm-build cpio
Download the Miniconda3 installation script.
Install Miniconda3 with default configuration.
```
sh Miniconda3-py310_25.1.1-2-Linux-aarch64.sh
```
Configure the path to the Miniconda3 binary in /etc/profile.
1. Open the file.
```
vim /etc/profile
```
2. Press i to enter the insert mode and add the following content to the end of the file:
```
export PATH=$PATH:/root/miniconda3/bin/
```
3. Press Esc to exit the insert mode. Type :wq! and press Enter to save the file and exit.
4. Make the file take effect.
```
source /etc/profile
```
Initialize the conda environment.
1

conda init
Exit the current SSH window and reconnect to the SSH window to ensure that conda takes effect.

If the base environment is displayed after you re-enter the SSH window, run the conda deactivate command to exit the base environment. If the base environment is not displayed, no operation is required.

Use conda to create a Python environment, for example, waasbooster_env.

Add conda-forge channels.

         
              conda config --add channels conda-forge

Use conda-forge to create a Python environment.

conda create -n waasbooster_env python=3.9.9 -c conda-forge

Check the waasbooster_env environment path.
1

conda env list
The command output is as follows:
- If the waasbooster_env path in the command output in step 8 is not /usr/local/waasbooster/bin/python3, copy the path and use it to modify the configuration file after WAAS Booster is deployed.
- If the returned content is /usr/local/waasbooster/bin/python3, skip this modification.
Run the following command to go to the specified virtual environment:
1

conda activate waasbooster_env
Create a requirements.txt file and add the following content to the file:
```
numpy==1.23.4 
pandas==2.2.3 
prophet==1.1.7 
```
Run the following command to install the dependencies:
1

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
