Hi @DuXiaoChuang,

It depends on what kind of distribution you want, if you want just python package you can run python3 setup.py sdist or python3 -m build in the root folder, the package will be in dist folder. In case you need a debian or rpm package you will need to run make_packages.sh script. If you want to create your own debian image - you can copy Dockerfile from docker folder to the root and just run docker build . -t my-gateway (replace my-gateway with any tag that you want).

python3 setup.py sdist creates python source distribution and you can install it using the following pip install dist/thingsboard-gateway-3.5.1.tar.gz

According to the issue with make_packages - you need to install additional packages, using command pip3 install bdist_rpm, as far as I remember, please try the first option with pip and if it won’t help you, I will check libraries that required to build rpm package.

I successfully installed /thingsboard-gateway-3.4.6.tar.gz on windows. How do I start and run

You can run it for example using the following command: python3 path/to/installed/package/thingsbaord_gateway/tb_gateway.py
