Installing remoteit on Ubuntu PCs running Intel or AMD CPUs

Section: Installing remote.it Updated: July 18, 2020 17:26

64-bit only

We only provide the amd64 version of the remoteit package for Debian, as Node v12 is not available for 32-bit platforms. For support of remote.it features on 32 bit Debian-based platforms, use the connectd package.

Get the latest version of Node

As with any Node.js application on Ubuntu the Node version in the Ubuntu or Debian repository is VERY old so you will have to execute this command first to add the correct repository to your system (this one is for Node.js v12)

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Download and verify the remoteit Debian amd64 package

curl -LO https://downloads.remote.it/debian/latest/remoteit_amd64.deb
md5sum remoteit_amd64.deb

Confirm that the displayed md5 checksum matches the value displayed on the downloads page.

Install remoteit

Install the remoteit package with:

sudo apt install -y ./remoteit_amd64.deb

Configure your Device with remote.it

Now that remoteit is installed, jump to this page to learn how to configure your Device and add Services to it.
