The current supported version is 4.54.00.

*Edge for Private Cloud v4.18.05*

This document describes how to install the Beta release of the New Edge experience for Edge
for the Private Cloud. The New Edge experience is the next generation of UI for Edge.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** In this document, the existing Edge UI is referred to as the Edge *classic* UI.

To try out the New Edge experience in an Edge for Private Cloud installation, you must:

- Enable SAML on Edge. The New Edge experience only supports SAML as the authentication mechanism.
- Install the New Edge experience on its own node. You cannot install it on a node that contains other Edge components.

For more on the New Edge experience, see
[The New Edge Experience for
Private Cloud](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.18.05/beta-release-new-edge-experience-private-cloud).

## Installation overview

To install the Beta version of the New Edge experience for Edge for the Private Cloud, you
perform two different installation processes:

- **Install the base Edge UI** , called *shoehorn* , and configure the base Edge UI to use SAML to authenticate with Edge.  

  > [!NOTE]
  > **Note**: You cannot use the base Edge UI to connect to Edge. It is simply a requirement for installing the New Edge experience.

- **Install the New Edge experience**, and configure the New Edge experience to use SAML to authenticate with Edge. After installing the New Edge experience, you can log in and use it to work with Edge.

## Installation prerequisites

- You must enable SAML on Edge before you install the New Edge experience. The New Edge experience only supports SAML as its authentication mechanism.

  > [!NOTE]
  > **Note**: In a non-production environment, you can leave basic authentication enabled on Edge so that users of the classic UI and of the Edge API can still use basic authentication.

  For information on enabling SAML on Edge, see
  [Supporting SAML on Edge for Private Cloud](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.18.05/supporting-saml-edge-private-cloud).
- You must install the New Edge experience on its own node. You cannot install it on a node that contains other Edge components. The node must meet the following requirements:
  - JAVA 1.8
  - 4 GBytes of RAM
  - 2-core
  - 60GB disk space
  - You must first install the 4.18.05 version of the `apigee-setup` utility on the node as described at [Install the Edge
    apigee-setup utility](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.18.05/install-edge-apigee-setup-utility).

## Considerations before installing the New
Edge experience

As described above in the prerequisites, the New Edge experience requires that you enable SAML
on Edge. That means user authentication is controlled by a SAML IDP, where you configure the SAML
IDP to use email addresses as the user ID. All New Edge experience users must therefore be
registered in the SAML IDP.

The Edge classic UI, the default UI you installed with Edge for the Private Cloud, does not
require SAML. It can use either SAML or basic authentication. That means you can either:

- Enable SAML support on Edge and on both the classic UI and the New Edge experience. In this scenario, all classic UI and New Edge experience users are registered in the SAML IDP.
  For information on adding new users to the SAML IDP, see
  [Register new Edge users](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.18.05/register-new-edge-users).

- Enable SAML support on Edge, but leave basic auth enabled. The New Edge experience uses SAML and the classic UI still uses basic authentication. In this scenario, all classic UI users log in with basic authentication credentials, where
  their credentials are stored in the Edge OpenLDAP database. New Edge experience users are
  registered in the SAML IDP and log in by using SAML.

  However, a classic UI user cannot log in to the New Edge experience until you have added that
  user to the SAML IDP as described in [Register new Edge
  users](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.18.05/register-new-edge-users).

## Installation configuration changes from Edge 4.18.01

The Edge 4.18.05 release of the New Edge experience contains the following changes to the
configuration file from the Edge 4.18.01 release. These properties are described in detail
in the following section:

| Change type | Affected properties |
|---|---|
| Added | ``` # Shoehorn UI configurations. SHOEHORN_SCHEME SHOEHORN_IP SHOEHORN_PORT # Classic UI configurations. CLASSIC_UI_SCHEME CLASSIC_UI_IP CLASSIC_UI_PORT # Information about Edge SSO module. MANAGEMENT_UI_SKIP_VERIFY ``` |
| Removed | ``` ROUTES_SHOEHORN ROUTES_CLASSICUI ``` |
| Replaced | ``` MANAGEMENT_UI_USE_HTTPS ``` Replaced by: ``` MANAGEMENT_UI_SCHEME ``` |

## Installation configuration file

The configuration file contains all the information necessary to install and configure the New
Edge experience. You can use the same configuration file to install and configure both the base
UI and the New Edge experience.

## Install the base Edge UI (shoehorn)

You must install the base Edge UI, called *shoehorn*, before you can install the New
Edge experience.

To install the base UI:

1. Install the 4.18.05 version of the `apigee-setup` utility on the node as described at [Install the Edge apigee-setup
   utility](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.18.05/install-edge-apigee-setup-utility).
2. Clean Yum:

   ```
   sudo yum clean all
   ```
3. Create the config file as described above and ensure that is is owned by the "apigee" user:

   ```
   chown apigee:apigee configFile
   ```

   where <var translate="no">configFile</var> is the configuration file described above in
   [Installation configuration file](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.18.05/installing-beta-release-edge-new-unified-experience#installation-configuration-file).
4. Install the Shoehorn version of the Edge UI:

   ```
   /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-ui install
   ```
5. Configure the Edge UI:

   ```
   /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-ui setup -f configFile
   ```
6. Enable SAML on the Edge UI:

   ```
   /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-ui configure-sso -f configFile
   ```

   <br />

   > [!CAUTION]
   > **Caution**: Do not attempt to log in to the UI until after you have installed and configured the New Edge experience below.

## Install the New Edge experience

After installing the base Edge UI, you can then install and configure the New Edge
experience.

To install the New Edge experience:

1. Install the New Edge experience:

   ```
   /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-management-ui install
   ```
2. Change to the `edge-management-ui` directory:

   ```
   cd /opt/apigee/edge-management-ui
   ```
3. Configure the New Edge experience:

   ```
   /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-management-ui setup -f configFile
   ```

   where <var translate="no">configFile</var> is the configuration file described above in
   [Installation configuration file](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.18.05/installing-beta-release-edge-new-unified-experience#installation-configuration-file).
4. Enable SAML on the New Edge experience:

   ```
   /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-management-ui configure-sso -f configFile
   ```
5. Log in to the New Edge experience by opening the following URL in a browser:

   ```
   http://newEdgeExperienceIP:3001
   ```

   where <var translate="no">newEdgeExperienceIP</var> is the IP address of the node hosting
   the New Edge experience. You will be prompted for your SAML credentials. After entering your
   credentials, the New Edge experience appears.
6. See [The New
   Edge Experience for Private Cloud (Beta)](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.18.05/beta-release-new-edge-experience-private-cloud) for more information, including links for information on using the New Edge experience.

## Uninstall the New Edge experience

To uninstall the New Edge experience:

```
/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-management-ui uninstall
```

To uninstall the base Edge UI (shoehorn):

```

```

To completely remove Edge from the node:

1. Stop all Edge services running on the machine:

   ```

   ```
2. Clear the yum cache:

   ```
   sudo yum clean all
   ```
3. Remove all the Apigee RPMs:

   ```
   sudo rpm -e $(rpm -qa | egrep "(apigee-|edge-)")
   ```
4. Remove the installation root directory:

   ```
   sudo rm -rf /opt/apigee
   ```
