EdgePack TUI Installer — Release Notes

Version 2026.2

Terminal-based wizard for installing Intel EdgePack software packages on supported Linux platforms.

Features

• Guided installation wizard — walks you through choosing and installing EdgePack packages step by step, no manual apt commands needed
• Auto-detects your hardware and OS — picks the right packages for your platform and warns you if your system isn't supported
• Optional add-on packages — choose extra packages to install alongside the base package
• Handles dependencies for you — automatically works out and installs everything a package needs
• Install without the wizard — new CLI mode lets you install a base profile and add-ons directly (edgepack-installer install <profile> ...) or list what's available (edgepack-installer list), useful for scripted and automated setups
• Hardened against malicious input — internal parsers and the install-script builder are now fuzz-tested, closing a shell-injection risk found during that testing
• Safer handling of your sudo password — held in memory as a mutable buffer and explicitly wiped immediately after use, instead of lingering as an ordinary string
• Safer downloads — downloaded files are validated (size and content) before being trusted, and are only moved into place once they pass those checks
• Less information leakage — error messages no longer reveal internal details like supported profiles, platforms, or your detected CPU/OS; log files are now locked down to your user only
• Signed repository support — installs use signed-by keyrings instead of blanket-trusting repositories once a signing key is available
• New installation setup guide — step-by-step guide for preparing supported platforms before running the installer
