Adding a Device

  2. Click on the + ADD Instance button to start the installation process of a new instance. Select Test it Now - Local Installation and click on Continue.

  3. Select Local Installation and then click on the Continue button. Currently, there are no guides for custom installations.

  4. Before you can install, you need to ensure your system meets the system requirements for a local installation and that you have Docker Desktop installed and running.

    If you have installed Docker Desktop and your computer meets the requirements, click on Continue.

If you see the option Overwrite Existing UMH instead of Install UMH, please be aware that clicking on the button will delete the previous installation of the UMH and you will lose all associated data and configurations, such as Node-RED flows and Grafana dashboards.

  1. When the installation is completed, click on the Finish button to return to the Overview tab.
