This documentation is intended for CUE/IO device users. It explains installation, everyday operation, and safe troubleshooting without requiring Linux knowledge.

On a running CUE/IO device, you can read and search the documentation at http://cueio.local/docs; the concise operator help is available at http://cueio.local/help. Both sections work on the local network without an internet connection. If the device name has been changed, use the .local address shown in the Network section or the Raspberry Pi IP address.
