Download and install the Arrow Electronics AWS-demo

$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/ArrowElectronics/aws-iot-device-sdk.git 
$ cd aws-iot-device-sdk/scripts
$ ./install.sh

The installer will attempt to detect the device used and then ask for a default path to install software into. The default is /home/linaro/projects for DragonBoard and /home/debian/projects pressing {Enter} will use the defaults
