DFC Installers available via wget / curl?

Just wondering if anyone else has the following problem - I don’t have a machine with 32GB ram or a GPU, so I’ve spun up an EC2 virtual machine to run the AI suite and I’m accessing it through SSH.

The first thing I need to do is get the Hailo software suite and/or docker image on to that machine. Usually I would just to a wget or curl request to the web-hosted resource and download it. However, for some reason the download URLs do not seem to work with curl or wget.

using the SSH file transfer is painful so I’ve resorted to uploading them to a private S3 bucket. Does anyone know of a wget/curl or similar command that will download the resources from their current location via CLI?

@hailo team, perhaps in the long run you could find a way to host them somewhere that is easily accessible through CLI - I expect it would make the documentation and installation process slicker too!

P.S. I’m loving the Hailo. Still early days but the community seems to be growing nicely too!

If you use the Hailo AI Software Suite docker (which is the way I recommend to use our tools) the installation is unpacking a ZIP file and then running a single bash script.

Thank you.

Yes, once you have the zip file on your machine the process is quite simple. As mentioned, I couldn’t work out how to initiate a download of the 9GB zip file from the download link on the website without using a browser. If like me you’re using a headless server, there is no browser UI and simple wget/curl requests to the link don’t work. I resorted to uploading it from my workstation to S3. this took quite a while given that the file is 9GB. It’s only a minor inconvenience, but just wanted to flag it for future consideration.

Cheers
