# Register Device (Agent 6.x & lower)

There are a few ways to register a device in the JFrog Connect system. This page describes how to connect a single Linux-based device using the `wget` command on your device.

* If you already have Connect Agent 7.0, use the procedure in [Register Device (Agent 7.0)](/get-started/register-device-agent-7.0.md).
* If you have not updated to Connect Agent 7.0 and would like to, use the procedure in [Update Connect Agent](broken://pages/2Z9somEfH2EQY3KGUKPz). Then you can register the device using the procedure for Agent 7.0.

## Prerequisites

You need the following before starting the procedure:

* Device meets minimum hardware, OS, and software requirements as described in [Connect Agent](/overview/readme/architecture/agent.md)
* Internet connectivity with the device
* JFrog Connect account created and a project defined as described in [Create JFrog Connect Account](/get-started/getting-started.md)

## Connect a Device

Complete the following steps:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip**: All input parameters in Connect, such as project name, group, device, access tokens, etc., are case sensitive.
{% endhint %}

1. In the Connect web UI, click **Register a Device** on the top left.

A popup opens showing a command that includes your user token and the project name in the places indicated below.

```
sudo wget -O - "https://app.connect.jfrog.io/v2/install_connect" | sudo sh -s <UserToken> <Project>
```

2. Open the command line terminal on your device and run the command that appears in the Device Registration popup. In most cases, you will need to copy the command into the device or type in the command manually. The tabs in the Device Registration popup show different forms of the command to use depending on whether you are a root user or a regular user.<br>

   When the command completes successfully, the device will appear as “New Device” in the Devices page as shown below.

### Use Optional Registration Parameters

You can add optional parameters to the end of the Register command.

* `-n=<device_name>` Sets a device name when the device is registered. You can enter a fixed name (e.g., -n=BlueDevice014) or you can use a parameter like “$HOSTNAME”.
* `-g=<group_name>`  Assigns the device to a specific group when the device is registered. The group must already exist in the system.
* `-s=<software_version>`  Creates an application called default\_app with the version that you enter in the command.&#x20;

Example Command

```
su -c 'wget -O - "https://app.connect.jfrog.io/v2/install_connect" | sh -s 81CGQw6GjFsAehZ6mkKpwWGfAkJXdecggR Demo -n=my_device_name -g=Test -s=1.0'
```

### Set Device Parameters in Devices Page

If you do not set the device name and group name parameters when registering the device (using the optional registration parameters), you can always rename the device later and assign it to a different group using the web UI.

1. In the Devices page, select the row of the device you want to modify.
2. In the General Details panel on the Devices page, click **Change**. Then you can edit the device name, reassign the device to a different group, and save your changes.

## Troubleshooting

After you enter the registration command, you may need to wait several seconds until the new device appears on the Devices page. If the device does not appear, try the steps below.

1. Check the network connection of your device.
2. Ensure that `systemd` or `SysV` is installed.
3. If you are using `SysV`, ensure that the `systemd` directory doesn't exist: `/etc/systemd/system`.
4. Ensure that the `user_token` and `project_name` are correct.
5. Run the installation command as a root user.
6. See the [Troubleshooting](/get-started/register-device-agent-7.0/linux-device-registration.md) page for common issues and fixes.

## What’s Next?

It is also possible to register devices without a direct download to the device. Additional methods enable device registration at scale. [Learn more](broken://pages/-MKpGQ5G-jHUqQ-34AmI).&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.connect.jfrog.io/get-started/register-device-agent-7.0/register-linux-edge-device.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
