System tools for setting up remote.it on your internet connected devices.

Install

All types of Linux

The easiest way to install remote.it on a Linux system is to run the following on the command line:

curl -LkO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/remoteit/installer/master/scripts/auto-install.sh
chmod +x ./auto-install.sh
sudo ./auto-install.sh

This script tests all available daemon architectures, then downloads a compatible package. If your system is Debian based, a deb package file will be downloaded and installed. Otherwise a tar file is downloaded and installed.

Now you should have the connectd tools installed on your system. To run the installer, type:

sudo connectd_installer

And follow the interactive prompts to setup your device.

Notes for developers

The connectd folder contains the source files for the Debian and tar package creation process.
scripts/build.sh is the script which handles building all packages.

For example, the name of the install folder, hardware ID, registration key, information used for bulk registration in web portal can use only ASCII.
