    sudo wget -O - https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public | sudo apt-key add -
    
    sudo echo "deb https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb $(awk -F= '/^VERSION_CODENAME/{print$2}' /etc/os-release) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adoptium.list
    
    sudo apt-get update
    
    sudo apt-get install temurin-17-jdk
    

  4. Download the Kura package with:

    wget http://download.eclipse.org/kura/releases/<version>/kura_<version>_intel-up2-ubuntu-20_installer.deb
    

    Note: replace <version> in the URL above with the version number of the latest release (e.g. 5.2.0).

  5. Install Kura with:

    apt-get install./ kura_<version>_intel-up2-ubuntu-20_installer.deb
    
  6. Set the right Wi-Fi regulatory domain based on your current world region editing the /etc/default/crda and adding the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of your region.

  7. Reboot the Intel Up² with:

    sudo reboot
    

    Kura starts on the target platform after reboot.

  8. Kura setups a local web ui that is available using a browser via:

    https://<device-ip>
    

    The browser will prompt the user to accept the connection to an endpoint with an untrusted certificate:

    Once trusted the source, the user will be redirected to a login page where the default username is:

    and the default password is:
