The Basics

This tutorial demonstrates the basics of application management and node management on a single node using the Edge Builder GUI. The following topics are covered:

Initialize the Edge Builder server components
Add a node
Deploy an Application
Controlling and removing an Application
Remove a node

Initialize the Edge Builder server components

To initialize the Edge Builder server components and CLI, complete the following steps:

Set up the environment as described in Tutorials Setup
SSH into the master node:
```
vagrant ssh master
```

Start the Edge Builder server components using the following command:

sudo edgebuilder-server up -a 192.168.56.10

When the server components are up, you should see all server components up and running via the docker ps command:

vagrant@master:~$ docker ps
