Quickstart

This section helps you quickly install Cumulocity Edge with default configuration. The installation section covers in greater detail how to install and configure Edge for production deployments.

Install Edge

Edge provides a command-line tool (c8yedge), a convenient way to install Edge on a Lightweight Kubernetes (K3s) cluster using a guided CLI-based workflow. You can download the tool from the Cumulocity Download Center or by running the following commands:

curl -sfL https://download.cumulocity.com/Cumulocity-Edge/Installer/2025/c8yedge -o c8yedge
chmod +x c8yedge
sudo mv c8yedge /usr/local/bin/

Before proceeding, ensure that you have met the prerequisites and applied the necessary operating system configurations required by K3s.

To install Edge, execute the following command and follow the interactive prompts:

sudo c8yedge install

Info

Contact product support to request the Edge registry credentials.

Upon successful installation, the tool will exit automatically.

To sign in to Edge, refer to the instructions at the start of the Accessing Edge section. You can later update the domain and license to match your environment by following the steps outlined in Modifying Edge.
