MAT is compatible with Debian (version 11 and 12) and Ubuntu (version 22.04 and 24.04) operating systems. System requirements depend on the particular MAT configuration.
Installation of the base image
To install the MAT base image, you must have Root access and a personal key provided by 40Factory called the "activation key." The activation key is a 10-character alphanumeric string unique to each MAT client. At this point you can type the following command as administrator, taking care to replace XXX with your activation key.
apt-get install -y curl xz-utils && curl -o configurator.tar.xz https://matcontrolcenter.blob.core.windows.net/mat-edge-configurator/configurator.tar.xz && tar -xf configurator.tar.xz && CLIENTID=XXX sh configurator/configurator.sh 2>&1 | tee -a "configurator.log"
