Install RPS Locally

The Remote Provisioning Service (RPS) is a microservice based on Node.js*. The RPS works with the Remote Provisioning Client (RPC) to activate Intel® AMT platforms using a pre-defined profile.

Figure 1 illustrates where RPS fits into the overall microservice architecture.

Clone the Repository

To clone the repository:

1. Open a new Command Prompt or a Terminal. The MPS server will continue to run in your previous Command Prompt or Terminal.

2. Clone the RPS repository to the same parent directory where the mps directory is located.

git clone https://github.com/open-amt-cloud-toolkit/rps.git && cd rps

Warning

Do not nest a microservice directory inside another microservice directory. The source code contains relative paths. The correct directory structure appears below, where parent is your installation directory.
