-The installer has dependencies on, and will install `python3`, `python3-pip`, `iproute2`, `openvswitch-switch`, `bridge-utils`.  
 To install EdgeVPNio invoke `sudo apt install -y <path/to/installer>/edge-vpnio.deb`.  
 After installation but before starting evio, complete `config.json` by adding the XMPP credentials, setting the IP address, and applying other configurations as needed.  
 Then start evio using `sudo systemctl start evio`.

+Description: Virtual Overlay Networking.
  EdgeVPN is an open-source user-centric software virtual network allowing end users to define and create their own virtual private networks (VPNs). EdgeVPNio virtual networks provide end-to-end tunneling of IP or Ethernet over Tincan links setup and managed through a control API to create various software-defined VPN overlays.
