Question about Smart Edge Open deployment

Kevin-Tseng — Tue, 20 May 2025 09:43:44 GMT

Hi All!

I'm a newcomer to Smart Edge Open and currently trying to deploy Smart Edge on a server.

I'm following the approach of burning a USB on the provisioning system and then deploying it to the target system.

The official guide I'm referencing is as follows:

https://intelsmartedge.github.io/docs/experience-kits/developer-experience-kit-default-install/#overview

However, during deployment on the target system, while running the installation process on uOS, I encountered an issue.

"AttributeError: module 'importlib_metadata' has no attribute 'EntryPoints'
make: *** [Makefile:12: install-dependencies] Error 1"

After rebooting into the system, I tried running the following command inside /opt/seo :

$sudo pipenv run ./deploy.py and encounter the same error.

Here is my target system's spec:

Intel Xeon Silver 4210R*2
64 GB RAM
1TB SSD

Here is my provisioning system's environmet:

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS Desktop
Python 3.8
Docker 28.1.1
Docker-compose 2.24.6

I'm currently stuck at this point. Could anyone advise me on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance for your help!
