Installation
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 run as a root user, though there are a couple cases where you don't. These will be made clear.
- On Windows, you will need to open a "Command Prompt" as an Administrator and replace any example you see as
sudo remoteitbyremoteit.exe - On Mac and Linux, you must run any commands related to creating/managing a Device or Services as a root user (e.g.
sudo)
Download the binary for the platform and Architecture/Distribution to the device. Find the binaries here: https://link.remote.it/download/cli
Debian
MacOS
Windows
Place the file in /usr/bin and rename to "remoteit"
You will need to change permissions on the file to make it executable by opening Terminal
chmod +x /usr/bin/remoteit
After placing the binary and making it executable, you will need to install the agent using the following command
sudo remoteit agent install
Place the file in /usr/local/bin and rename to "remoteit"
You will need to change permissions on the file to make it executable by opening Terminal
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/remoteit
After placing the binary and making it executable, you will need to install the agent using the following command
sudo remoteit agent install
Place the file in your drive which has "Program Files" typically your "C" drive and rename to "remoteit.exe"
You will need to update your PATH environmental variables to add the full path to the exe. e.g. C:\Program Files\remoteit.exe
You will need to install the agent using the following command as an Administrator in command line
remoteit agent install
