(Save current locale so that it can be later restored)
3) Change system locale to english. :
sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
4) Install cblauncher-1.1 version.
5) Edit /etc/cblauncher.conf to enable trace logs.
Change DEBUG_LEVEL=16
6) Initiate sensor install from backend.
7) Confirm that sensor installation succeeds.
8) Restore system locale back to non-english locale.
