Prerequisites

1. Linux management server connected to two distribution switches
2. Multiple free /24 networks for IPv4 management addressing
3. Somewhere to host git repositories (you need to create three new repositories)

...

mkdir {access,core,devices,dist,fabric,global,groups}
touch {access,core,dist,fabric,global}/{base_system.yml,groups.yml,routing.yml,vxlans.yml}
touch {access,core,dist,fabric}/base_system.yml
touch devices/README
touch groups/README

...

Once the databases and API are up you can create your first initial dist switches. Start by checking if you can access the API (the JWT token has to be signed by the cert(auth-server) you copied in to the api container earlier. the CNAASURL can very depending on setup):

export JWT_AUTH_TOKEN="eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1NzEwNTk2MTgsIm5iZiI6MTU3MTA1OTYxOCwianRpIjoiNTQ2MDk2YTUtZTNmOS00NzFlLWE2NTctZWFlYTZkNzA4NmVhIiwic3ViIjoiYWRtaW4iLCJmcmVzaCI6ZmFsc2UsInR5cGUiOiJhY2Nlc3MifQ.Sfffg9oZg_Kmoq7Oe8IoTcbuagpP6nuUXOQzqJpgDfqDq_GM_4zGzt7XxByD4G0q8g4gZGHQnV14TpDer2hJXw"
export CNAASURL="https://localhost"
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer ${JWT_AUTH_TOKEN}" https://localhost/ ${CNAASURL}/api/v1.0/devicessystem/version

If you don't have installed valid certificates you will need to add -k to curl to make it accept self signed certificates. This curl command should return a result with status success but no data.
