I need to prepare a setup script that will be transferred to an industrial PC (IPC) using a USB drive, together with all required files for an offline installation.

The script must perform the following tasks:

- Install Ignition using a pre-downloaded Linux installer

- Configure the IP address of the Linux system

- Restore the Ignition backup file

All required files will be located in the same directory on the IPC. This directory will contain:

- The Ignition installer file (`.run`)

- The setup script (`.sh`)

- The Ignition backup file (`.gwbk`)

The goal is to enable a fully offline deployment process, where the script automates the installation and initial configuration of the system with minimal manual intervention. This is what I have done so far:

#!/bin/bash

echo "=== START SETUP ==="

chmod +x ignition-installer.run

sudo ./ignition-installer.run --mode unattended

sudo systemctl start ignition

sudo systemctl enable ignition

sudo cp \*.gwbk /var/lib/ignition/data/backups/

echo "=== SETUP DONE ==="

echo "Otvori browser: [http://localhost:8088](http://localhost:8088)"

echo "i napravi Restore backup-a"
