It's the smallest way to make a device reachable through remote.it. **With this package installed, other devices and users can connect *****to***** this device, but this device cannot initiate connections *****to***** others.** If this machine also needs to initiate connections, install one of these instead: * **CLI** — if connections will be made from scripts or the command line. * **Desktop Application** — a straightforward UI for making connections and configuring devices. Use the Device Package when you care about disk space and process footprint — for example on headless or embedded Linux devices such as Raspberry Pi, OpenWrt routers, IoT hardware, and cloud VMs. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.remote.it/software/device-package.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
