Connector Install
Raspberry Pi
Overview
Modular single board computers (such as a Raspberry Pi) makes an excellent platform to run the Agilicus Connector.
The below instructions were tested on a Raspberry Pi 4, specifically:
# cat /etc/debian_version
10.12
# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"
During the installation, a Service Account will be created (permissions for the Connector to run as).
The Raspberry Pi installation uses the same instructions as the Linux ones (image at right) A sample command line is offered in the Agilicus admin porttal, which may be pasted into the ssh shell.
You are now complete.
Logs (if any) are generated to /var/log/agilicus-agent.log (e.g. run ‘tail -F /var/log/agilicus-agent.log’)
We may check the status once installed as below.
