For usage instructions, please refer to Device Camera section in Getting Started using Snaps.

sudo snap install --dangerous <snap-file>

The snapcraft overview provides additional details.

Obtain a Secret Store token

The edgex-secretstore-token snap slot makes it possible to automatically receive a token from a locally installed platform snap.

If the snap is built and installed locally, the interface will not auto-connect. You can check the status of the connections by running the snap connections edgex-device-camera command.

To manually connect and obtain a token:

sudo snap connect edgexfoundry:edgex-secretstore-token edgex-device-camera:edgex-secretstore-token
