Installing remoteit on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian or Raspberry Pi OS
If you already have Services configured using the connectd package
The remoteit package offers the Admin Panel as a new feature compared to connectd, but otherwise connections and scripting should work the same. We do not consider upgrading to remoteit mandatory and any deployed systems with connectd will continue to work without upgrading.
If you previously have installed connectd version 2.4.26 or later, installing the remoteit package should convert any existing Services that were installed using the interactive script, connectd_installer.
To check the version of connectd, run:
sudo dpkg -s connectd | grep Version
If your version of connectd is 2.4.26 or later
Just proceed to install the remoteit package:
sudo apt-get update
wget https://downloads.remote.it/debian/latest/remoteit_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install ./remoteit_armhf.deb
If your version of connectd is older than 2.4.26
You will receive a warning message and your existing Services will not be converted.
To update the connectd package to a newer version so that remoteit installation and conversion can proceed, please run:
curl -LkO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/remoteit/installer/master/scripts/auto-install.sh
chmod +x ./auto-install.sh
sudo ./auto-install.sh
Next, set the startup to be controlled by systemctl (systemd) rather than cron.
sudo systemctl enable connectd
sudo systemctl enable connectd_schannel
sudo crontab -e
sudo apt-get update
wget https://downloads.remote.it/debian/latest/remoteit_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install ./remoteit_armhf.deb
