Add a Device

Set up a device with everything you need to deploy a Workflow using Device Manager.

To deploy a Workflow with Device Manager, you first need to add a device to your Roboflow account.

Adding a device will:

• Install Roboflow Inference, our edge computer vision inference server, and all required dependencies, including Docker.

• Register the device so it can be monitored from your Roboflow account.

To add a device, click "Deployments" in the left sidebar of your Roboflow account, then click the "Devices" tab:

Click the "Add Device" button. A window will appear in which you can set a name for your new device:

Set a name for the device you want to add, then click "Generate Command".

You will then be given a command to run on your device:

This command will set up Inference on your system and register your device with the Roboflow dashboard. Your edge device will need an internet connection to run this command.

The "Generate Command" button will be greyed-out until your device has been registered, after which point you will be able to proceed to the next step.

If you have a corporate firewall in place that applies to your edge hardware, contact your account manager for guidance on how to ensure the installation process runs successfully. You may need to whitelist Roboflow's device management domains.
