Thank you for your feedback
To operate your Kernel system, you will use a user interface accessed from the Kernel Cloud Portal (see Portal Flow UI Overview). However, not just any computer can be used, as the computer must have a specific Kernel Flow acquisition driver installed.
NOTE:
Existing customers may already have a computer with the acquisition driver installed. To check, open a terminal on your data collection computer and type
kortex --version. If a version number is returned, then the acquisition driver has been installed. Installing the Acquisition Driver
Before you can record data with a Flow system, you will have to install the Flow acquisition driver on the data acquisition computer. This should be completed after creating an organization and registering the Flow device to that Organization (see Configuring Kernel Cloud).

Currently, the Flow acquisition driver self-install is only available on the following operating systems. Windows operating systems coming soon!
- Linux Ubuntu 20.04 (x86_64)
- Linux Ubuntu 22.04 (x86_64)
- macOS (amd64)
- macOS (arm64)
- Mouse over the Menu button in the top right corner of your organization's Kernel Portal page and select the Settings button. The Organization Settings page opens.
- Navigate to the Acquisition Driver tab.
- Follow the instructions located on that tab, which will involve opening a terminal and copying commands.
- You are now ready to operate the Flow device using the Kernel Cloud Portal.
NOTE:
The code to be copied is unique to your organization, which means the acquisition driver installed on your device is specific to the organization. Please do not share the code with people outside of your organization.
