Installation
Although ARDI was designed the the capability to run on Windows where required, it is much easier to maintain when run in Linux.
As such, we suggest Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as our platform of choice. It's free, popular, extremely stable and supported by major VPS cloud hosting providers such as Amazon AWS and Digital Ocean.
We provide installer scripts to make installation of ARDI on a new linux system extremely straight-forward.
Ubuntu is also based on Debian, which is also used as the operating system for many small hardware devices, such as the Raspberry PI, BeagleBone Black and PCDuino, which are low-cost hardware options for ARDI.
