Register a device

Connecting Linux device
After creating a project, at the top of the dashboard, click on Register Device. A window will pop up with instructions on how to register a Linux device. Basically, all you need to do is run the shown command on the device's terminal.
Registration command:
Bash
su -c 'wget -O - "https://connect.jfrog.io/v2/install_connect" | sh -s <USER_TOKEN> <PROJECT_NAME>'
​
 Please note that you must replace the <USER_TOKEN> with your private user token and <PROJECT_NAME> with your project name.
Optional Parameters
1.Device Name - to enter a device name at registration, add the flag -n=<DEVICE_NAME> at the end of the registration command (for example, you can use "$HOSTNAME" as your device name).
2.Device Group - to make the device register to a specific group, add the flag -g=<GROUP_NAME>at the end of the registration command (the group must exist).
3.Device Software version - when defined, it will create an application called "default_app" with the specified version at registration. Add the flag -s=<SOFTWARE_VERSION> at the end of the registration command.
Example:
Bash
su -c 'wget -O - "https://connect.jfrog.io/v2/install_connect" | sh -s <USER_TOKEN> <PROJECT_NAME> -n=<DEVICE_NAME> -g=<GROUP_NAME> -s=<SOFTWARE_VERSION>'
​
After a few seconds, your device should appear in the Devices category on the Dashboard.
If you don't see your device in the dashboard:
1.Check the network connection of your device.
2.Make sure systemd or SysV is installed.
3.If you are using SysV, make sure the systemd directory doesn't exist: /etc/systemd/system.
4.Make sure the user_tokenand project_name are correct.
5.Make sure You run the installation command as a root user.
6.Check the Troubleshooting section for common issues and fixes.
