INSTALL PLAYIT ON LINUX
0. Pre-Setup: Run the command(s) below.
sudo mkdir /etc/playit/
1. Navigate to the page for downloads and find the files with no extension (no .exe or .dmg at the end): https://github.com/playit-cloud/playit-agent/releases/latest
Find the one (most likely playit-<some version> with no file extension.) and right click it and press “Copy link address”
IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT DISTRIBUTION OF LINUX FIND THE COMPATIBLE ONE
2. Run the following command: wget <the-link-you-copied> -O playit while replacing <the-link-you-copied> with the link you copied from step 1.
3. Make the file runable. Run the following command:
sudo chmod +x ./playit
4. Move the file to /etc/playit. Run the following command:
sudo mv ./playit /etc/playit/playit
5. Make a service file (run on boot and in background). Run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/playit.service
In the following window that opens, paste in this text:
[Unit]
Description=Playit.gg client
After=network.target
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/etc/playit
ExecStart=/etc/playit/playit
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
then do ctrl + x to exit the file, press y to save, and then enter to confirm.
6. Start the service in the background. Run the following commands:
sudo systemctl start playit
sudo systemctl enable playit
7. Get the claim code from playit. Run the following commands:
sudo systemctl status playit
From here you should be able to get the claim link. Paste it into your browser and log in to start creating tunnels.
