Welcome to SkyHub — this guide walks you from a bare Jetson to an activated drone.

​
SkyHub Registration

Before you begin, create a SkyHub account:
  1. Register at https://skyhub.ai/register
  2. Verify your email address
  3. Log in to access the SkyHub dashboard

​
Installation

SSH into your Jetson device and install the SkyCore CLI: 
curl -sL https://skyhub.ai/sc.tar.gz | tar xz && sudo bash sc.sh install
This command will:
  1. Download the SkyCore package
  2. Extract it to the current directory
  3. Install SkyCore to your system by:
    • Copying the script to /usr/local/bin/sc.sh
    • Creating a symlink at /usr/local/bin/skycore
    • Setting proper permissions
After installation, you can use either the sc.sh or skycore command.

​
Drive Flashing

To download and flash a Jetson Orin image to a drive: 
sudo skycore flash --target /dev/sdX
Where /dev/sdX is your target drive (e.g., /dev/sda or /dev/nvme0n1). This command will:
  1. Download the latest Orin Nano image from our S3 repository
  2. Flash the image to your target drive
  3. Create all required partitions with proper filesystem types
You can customize the source and other options: 
sudo skycore flash --target /dev/sdX --bucket s3://custom-bucket --image custom-image.tar.gz
For more options and details, see Flashing Drives.
