This is the PCLI prompt, but the next line is the linux shell. It is important to show that you are running the shell command to get to the linux shell from the PCLI.

I think the line can be removed - this is just a copy/paste from a screen output

Obviously we don't need to teach people about the cp command, but you should add steps for:

  • copy the files to the USB
  • mount the USB onto the conductor
  • copy the files to the conductor (is the location /home/t128 correct? If so, please specify that the files must go here.

The location can be anywhere on the system - the import rpm command takes a full path and copies it to the right spot. Technically, that can be the path be the mount directory too - so possibly no need for an extra cp operation. I'm not sure if we absolutely must use the USB mount for this in the doc (might add some confusion). A lot of conductors tend to be virtual deployments.

This should be reworded:

The SSR400 and SSR440 platforms use an ARM CPU processor and require the aarch64 version of the plugins. All other platforms should use the x86_64 files.


**Use of the [Import ISO](#import-iso) and [Import RPM](#import-plugin-rpms) Commands**

When using the `import iso` and `import rpm` commands to install plugins necessary for your deployment, it is important to create a bootable USB that contains both the specific image (ISO) as well as the individual plugin RPMs and all associated dependencies for the plugins. All of these files are imported to the conductor for and available for router installation.

Are we sure it has to be a bootable USB for importing via ISO in the offline mode? I would think only the ISO installation mode would require it to be bootable.
