1. Install and update 64-bit OS.
2. Set a static IP. From the terminal enter nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf and uncomment the lines under Example static IP configuration. Reboot to apply and test.
3. Install rng-tools with sudo apt install rng-tools. The config in /etc/default/rng-tools-debian should be modified. Uncomment the line with HRNGDEVICE=/dev/hrng. Once the file is saved restart with sudo systemctl restart rng-tools.
4. Prior to installing the UniFi controller, an older version of libssl needs to be installed and mongodb installed, enabled, and started.

   wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2g-1ubuntu4_arm64.deb -O libssl1.0.deb
   sudo dpkg -i libssl1.0.deb
   wget https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu/dists/xenial/mongodb-org/3.6/multiverse/binary-arm64/mongodb-org-server_3.6.22_arm64.deb -O mongodb.deb
   sudo dpkg -i mongodb.deb
   sudo systemctl enable mongod
   sudo systemctl start mongod

5. Rather than downloading and installing the Debian package, we will add the repository so that it can be managed with apt. Enter echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/ubiquiti-archive-keyring.gpg] https://www.ui.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/100-ubnt-unifi.list >/dev/null to add the repository to the apt configuration. Next, add the key to your trusted keys with curl https://dl.ui.com/unifi/unifi-repo.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/ubiquiti-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null.
6. Run sudo apt update to update the package repository.
7. Install the UniFi package with sudo apt install unifi. Answer yes to continue.
8. Check the service status with sudo service unifi status. If it hasn't started install Java with sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre-headless unifi.
9. Run sudo service unifi start to start the service again.
10. You should now be able to access the controller at https://{your-ip}:8443 and begin configuration.
