The installer script performs an automatic installation of iQ Studio. It runs without prompting for input and completes the following operations:
  • Uploads component images to the private registry
  • Configures namespaces and secrets
  • Installs the iQ Studio operator using Helm
  • Applies the ProductRelease manifest to deploy all components
  1. Run this command from within the extracted installer directory,
    ./iqstudio-installer.sh --install --config-file=iqstudio-install.conf

    The installer reads all values from iqstudio-install.conf and runs all steps without prompting for input.

  2. Monitor the terminal output. The installer logs each step as it progresses.
    Do not close the terminal session while the installation is running.
    Remember: If installation stops or fails, rerun the same command. The installer saves progress in (.iqstudio-install-state.sh) and resumes automatically from the last completed step.
  3. After the installer completes, confirm that all components are running correctly.
    1. Confirm that the ProductRelease resource exists and shows the correct version.
      kubectl get productrelease -n iqstudio-operator
      The VERSION column should display the installed version.
    2. Review the detailed status.
      kubectl describe productrelease -n iqstudio-operator
      In the status section, confirm that Phase is Ready.
    3. Confirm that all component pods are running.
      kubectl get pods -A | grep -v Running | grep -v Completed
      During or immediately after installation, some pods may temporarily show ContainerCreating or Terminating. This behavior is expected. Wait until all pods return to a Running state before you proceed.
  4. Review the log output to confirm the installation completed successfully.
    tail -50 logs/iqstudio-bootstrap-*.log
    Note: All log files are written to the logs subdirectory of the extracted installer package.
    Log filename Description
    logs/iqstudio-bootstrap-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.log Full installation log.
    logs/iqstudio-bootstrap-errors-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.log Errors only.
  5. When the installation succeeds, you see this message:
    [SUCCESS] ProductRelease deployment SUCCESSFUL
All iQ Studio components are installed successfully.
After iQ Studio installs successfully, continue with model deployment. For more information, see Deploying AI and ML models.
