Installation

The remoteit Command Line Interface (CLI) is installed as part of the remoteit package and Desktop applications.

Setup

Using the remote.it CLI is consistent across platforms but please note:

• On Windows, you will need to open a "Command Prompt" as an Administrator and replace any example you see from sudo remoteit to remoteit.exe

• On Mac and Linux, you will need to run any commands related to creating/managing a Device or Services as a root user (e.g. sudo) so that we can install and manage system Services to keep your Device running.

• Note that the remote.it CLI has slightly different behavior if you are running as a root user versus a non-root user. In general, you will want to always run as a root user unless you have a specific reason not to.

Quick start

Getting a new Device setup in your remote.it account using our CLI is easy as 1-2-3:

sudo remoteit signin # First - signin into your account
sudo remoteit setup # Then - setup a Device
sudo remoteit add # Finally - add services (as many as needed)
