From bab60d9b6bbbbd0f2524fb2c96731f9ad3bfc026 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ale Paredes <1709578+ale7714@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 14:29:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Remove AppImage/manual install-method step for 64-bit Linux setup viam-agent is now the only install option for Linux/Aarch64 and Linux/x86_64 on the machine setup page (see viamrobotics/app#12758, RSDK-14255). The "Installation method" selector no longer renders for any platform, so drop the obsolete viam-agent-vs-manual choice from the Linux setup includes. Armv7l, Mac, and Windows are unaffected. --- static/include/install/install-linux-aarch.md | 5 +---- static/include/install/install-linux.md | 5 +---- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/static/include/install/install-linux-aarch.md b/static/include/install/install-linux-aarch.md index d9eccbc7d3..e229c621e9 100644 --- a/static/include/install/install-linux-aarch.md +++ b/static/include/install/install-linux-aarch.md @@ -13,10 +13,7 @@ Install `viam-server` on the computer or single-board computer (SBC) that is dir 1.
