• ​Setup Nx Witness on Raspberry Pi / Banana Pi​

• ​Setup Nx Witness on Mac OSX​

• ​Setup Nx Witness on Windows​

Setup on Raspberry Pi

Since using a Raspberry Pi is so common on remote.it, we wanted to provide some even clearer steps on getting setup.

Find your download link

Once you've signed into your Nx Witness account, find the ARM download:

Now, find the ARM download and copy the download link

Install Nx Witness

Now that you have your Nx Witness ARM ZIP file link, replace <URL_TO_NX_WITNESS_ZIP> in the below commands with that link and execute them on the command line of your device:

cd / 
sudo wget <URL_TO_NX_WITNESS_ZIP>
sudo unzip <NX_WITNESS_ZIP_FILENAME>
sudo chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

Run Nx Witness

Now that you've installed Nx Witness you can run the media server with the following:

sudo /etc/init.d/networkoptix-mediaserver start

Start on boot

To have Nx Witness start when your device reboots, run the following command:

sudo update-rc.d networkoptix-mediaserver defaults

Configuring your device

Now that you have Nx Witness running on your device, you need make sure your device is configured to connect to the Nx Witness service.

To do so, create a new TCP service using the remote.it connectd installer (by running sudo connectd_installer on the command line) and set the port to 7001.
