Installing Energy Reduction

Energy Reduction is the collection of services that support the Energy Insights and Energy Control features.

Transfer of Docker Images

The Docker images have a total size of 20 GB. It is essential to complete the transfer of these files before proceeding with the rest of the installation. Verify that you are transferring them to a folder on a partition with adequate free space. A good location would be within /var, as the /home partition is often limited in size.
