System Setup and Maintenance

Scout is an early stage product where we are working to improve on the installation and usage processes. That being said, for the best experience with setting up Scout, we recommend system administrators have experience with their given operating system and have familiarity with working from the console.

Ideal setup for Scout includes enough space for high volumes of imagery, such as a NAS, and a system with powerful Nvidia GPU. Scout runs on Linux and Mac, but primary development is on Ubuntu.

System Requirements

Scout is intended to be run in a single lab over an internal network. Ideal system for Scout includes a powerful Server with GPU and enough space for large volumes of high quality images, and a series of additional client machines that connect over the same network.
