Installation Scheme

This document describes how to install the MindIE software in image/container and physical machine (PM) scenarios. Figure 1 shows the deployment architecture. The following lists the application scenarios, advantages, and disadvantages of each installation mode. Select a proper installation mode based on the application scenario.

• Image installation: This is the simplest installation mode. You can download the packaged image from the Ascend community. The image contains necessary dependencies and software such as CANN, PTA, and MindIE. You only need to pull the image and start the container.
• PM installation: This installation mode is used to install software such as CANN, PTA, and MindIE on a PM one by one when the Docker container is not used. In this mode, all software is directly installed in the OS of the PM.
• Container installation: This installation mode is used to install software such as CANN, PTA, and MindIE in containers one by one, which is equivalent to manually creating images. This mode provides higher flexibility for users. Users can select and specify software versions. In addition, the software environment in each container is independent.
