If you don't want to test or publish your own DAC app then you can skip this step and tries the already published demo apps in the next section. There are two ways to publish an app in ASMS:

1. using the dactest.py test tool
2. using the Swagger interface to manually publish the app

But before publishing the app into ASMS you first need to publish your DAC app's OCI image into a registry that the RDK ASMS can reach. After all, it needs to be able to generate a bundle and thus needs access to this OCI image.

Using dactest.py tool

dactest.py can be used list, install, uninstall, start and stop DAC apps. It also connects to RDK ASMS to list available DAC apps in the cloud. The DAC apps downloaded from the cloud are generated to bundles inside that cloud and cached there. Sometimes the download can take a while if the bundle still needs to be generated for a specific platform and/or version.

So how to use dactest.py to install an app from ASMS:

1. on your development PC/laptop: install dactest.py dependencies. You need python3 and then pip3 install requests colorama websocket-client
2. by default the script is configured properly for RPI3. But for RPI4 you have to edit the script and set DEFAULT_ASMS_PLATFORM_RDK="rpi4" and DEFAULT_ASMS_FIRMWARE_RDK="1.0.0-e71889dc02521bfdc2f9f38f750b34224184c375-dbg"
3. use ./dactest.py 192.168.0.117 (replace with your RPI IP)
4. it will use the RDK ASMS to list apps available from the cloud. Use "Ix" where x is the number/index of the app you want to install. Later you can use "Ux" to remove it again.
5. after successful installation you can start the app using "Sx" and stop it using "Tx".
