Begin by ensure Portainer is running and you are set up to manager the target Docker environment.  Information on Portainer can be found here.  If using a Hilscher Edge device consult the Hilscher documentation for access to the Portainer Portal.

Step 2: Download the Ignition Edge MQTT image

Open a Web Browser to your Portainer instance and select images on the left.  In the name section enter one of the two following strings depending on your platform architecture:

• If Linux 64-bit is supported: cirruslink/ignition-edge-linux-64:7.9.9
• If Linux ARM HF is supported: cirruslink/ignition-edge-linux-armhf:7.9.9

Shown below is an example for 64-bit Linux.  After entering the target image into the name field, click the 'Pull the Image' button to download it.  You must have internet connectivity for this to succeed.
