== Supported devices ==
* This guide is valid for Airtop, Airtop2, Airtop3
== Prepare installation media ==
* A USB DVD-ROM drive or a USB Flash drive of at least 2GB should be used as installation media
* Download [https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=274 Linux Mint 19.3 "Tricia" - Cinnamon (64-bit)]
* For installation with a USB DVD-ROM - flash the downloaded image directly onto a DVD
* For installation with a USB Flash drive, please follow [http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/744 How to install Linux Mint via USB] tutorial
== Base installation of Linux Mint ==
* Follow the standard Linux Mint installation procedure - choose timezone, partitions, username, password etc.
* Disconnect the installation media and reboot.
* Login using previously selected username and password.
== I3M Panel ==
* Integrated interactive information monitor [[Airtop:I3M | I<sup>3</sup>M]] is a GUI system integrated in the front panel of Airtop
* Download and install the following package:
<pre>
$ wget https://fit-iot.com/files/download/airtop/sw/I3M/Linux/airtop-fpsvc_3.0-2.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i airtop-fpsvc_3.0-2.deb
...
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/airtop-fpsvc.service → /lib/systemd/system/airtop-fpsvc.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/gpu-thermald.service → /lib/systemd/system/gpu-thermald.service.
</pre>
* Note, the package adds "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" string to the kernel boot line
* Reboot the Airtop after installation
* Now you can navigate through menus between multiple screens of the I<sup>3</sup>M that display system information, temperatures, power consumption and notifications
== Intel video acceleration graphic drivers ==
<pre>
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install mint-meta-codecs i965-va-driver gstreamer1.0-vaapi vainfo
