Installation Scheme (Linux)

MindStudio and Ascend-CANN-Toolkit can be installed using the native desktop terminal gnome-terminal of the Linux server. Alternatively, you can log in to the Linux server from a Windows server in SSH mode to install them. MindStudio is a GUI-based IDE. Therefore, to log in to the Linux server from the Windows server in SSH mode, you must use the SSH terminal (for example, MobaXterm v20.2 or later) integrated with the X server.

Pure Development Scenario (Separate Deployment Mode)

In this scenario, MindStudio and Ascend-CANN-Toolkit need to be installed in the pure development environment, as shown in Figure 1. For details about how to set up the operating environment on an Ascend AI device, see the CANN Software Installation Guide.

Development and Operating Scenario (Co-deployment Mode)

In this scenario, you need to install the software packages, including the driver, firmware, Ascend-CANN-Toolkit, and AI framework packages shown in Figure 2. For details about how to install them, see the CANN Software Installation Guide.
