Welcome, @kamal123 to the OEM forum.

At the top of each page here, you’ll find some useful links. ‘Docs’ is where almost anything you want to know about monitoring electricity and heat pumps can be found, though I appreciate there is so much that it can be very hard to find what you want, and ‘Shop’ is where you can purchase OEM hardware (and the profits from sales are what pay the costs of keeping this forum running). Possibly most important is the Search function - use the ‘magnifier’ icon in the light blue bar to search here, the one in the darker blue bar also searched archived posts from the old forum.

To answer your question. The easiest way is first:

  1. Purchase an SD Card with an image of the operating system and emonCMS already loaded: emonSD Industrial - Pre-loaded SD card - Shop | OpenEnergyMonitor
    or
  2. Purchase an SD Card (preferably the same size and type locally and download and flash the same image to the card: emonSD Download — OpenEnergyMonitor 0.0.1 documentation
    or
  3. Use the scripts: EmonCMS Install Scripts — OpenEnergyMonitor 0.0.1 documentation

I would add :

  1. use the docker container, a possible way is through docker compose. See https://emoncms-docker.github.io/ or https://github.com/Open-Building-Management/compose-files

Just to note the SD Image is a bit old and I think there is work underway to update it soon. @TrystanLea

Also, If you have HomeAssistant, then there is an add-on so it will run on your HA instance.

Finally, you can install emoncms in any VM as well.
