# ADKInstaller<a name="EN-US_TOPIC_0235601568"></a>

The ADKInstaller tool runs on an Ubuntu, x86 environment. It is used to set up the PC environment and board environment for the Atlas 200 DK.

**Note: The ADK version that this tool is adapted to is version 1.3x, that is, the installation tool when the 200DK operating environment is ubuntu16.04. And the current version of Shengteng official website is no longer maintained, and the warehouse is no longer maintained. For more information, please refer to Ascend's official document https://www.hiascend.com/document and Ascend's official sample repository is https://gitee.com/ascend/samples.**

## Environment Setup Overview<a name="en-us_topic_0233432619_section137245294533"></a>

The following figure shows the functions of ADKInstaller and the process of setting up the environment.

>![](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:**   
>-   If it is your first time to use Atlas 200 DK, you need to learn the basics about the Atlas 200 DK and prepare the environment.  
>-   If a prepared SD card is included in your Atlas 200 DK, you can skip the SD card making step.

## Preparing for Environment Setup<a name="en-us_topic_0233432619_section8534138124114"></a>

1.  Learn about the Atlas 200 DK.

Huawei Atlas 200 Developer Kit $Atlas 200 DK for short$ is a developer board product based on the Huawei Ascend 310 processor. It enables one-stop development of AI applications.

The following figure shows the system block diagram of the Atlas 200 DK.

**Figure  2**  Connection between the Atlas 200 DK developer board and  Mind Studio<a name="en-us_topic_0233432619_fig179514213618"></a>  
    ![](figures/connection-between-the-atlas-200-dk-developer-board-and-mind-studio.png "connection-between-the-atlas-200-dk-developer-board-and-mind-studio")

>![](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:**   
    >The IP address 192.168.1.2/192.168.0.2 in the figure is the IP address of the developer board, which can be selected during SD card making.

The Atlas 200 DK developer board consists of the Hi3559 camera module and Atlas 200 AI accelerator module. The PC installed with the IDE Mind Studio connects to the Atlas 200 DK developer board over the USB port or Ethernet port.

Mind Studio provides the device development kit $DDK$ and a range of tool modules for model management, operator and model building, and log analysis. The DDK contains the library files required for building on the device side, as well as the tools, dependent libraries, and common header files required on the user's development machine.

2.  Prepare the environment.

Before starting ADKInstaller, prepare the hardware and environment as follows:

1\). Prepare the Atlas 200 DK, including an SD card for creating the Atlas 200 DK system boot disk, an SD card reader, a Type-C cable used for connecting to the Ubuntu server, and a camera.

2\). Install the Ubuntu 16.04 OS on the server for deploying Mind Studio.

3\). Check if at least 20 GB is available on the Ubuntu OS.

4\). Check if the Ubuntu system memory is at least 4 GB.

## Setting up the Environment<a name="en-us_topic_0233432619_section845024719402"></a>

1.  Obtain ADKInstaller.

Log in to the Ubuntu OS, switch to the common user $user who installs the Atlas 200 DK development environment$, and run the following command in the command line to download the ADKInstaller software package:

**wget  [https://obs-book.obs.cn-east-2.myhuaweicloud.com/temp/ADKInstaller.0.0.1.tar.gz](https://obs-book.obs.cn-east-2.myhuaweicloud.com/temp/ADKInstaller.0.0.1.tar.gz)**

Run the following commands to decompress the software package and go to the directory where the decompressed file is stored:

**tar -xzvf ADKInstaller.0.0.1.tar.gz**

**cd ADKInstaller**

Run the following commands to switch to the  **root** user and grant the  **sudo** permission to the common user:

**su root**

**./add\_sudo.sh** _username_

**exit**

>![](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:**   
    >-   Replace  _**username**_ with the user name of the common user who installs the Atlas 200DK development environment, for example,  **ascend**.  
    >-   You need to grant the  **sudo** permission to the common user for environment setup. You can run the  **./del\_sudo.sh  _username_**  command as the  **root** user to remove its sudo permission afterwards.

2.  Start ADKInstaller.

During installation, please refer to FAQ for problems（ https://gitee.com/lovingascend/ADKInstaller/blob/master/FAQ.md  ）Solve it.

Run the following command as the common user in the Ubuntu OS to start ADKInstaller:

**./ADKInstaller**

[Figure 3](#en-us_topic_0233432619_fig15272194819563)  shows the ADKInstaller login window.
