# Linux Cli Client Installation

### Step 1: Download the Installer

```bash
curl -L https://github.com/atsign-foundation/noports/releases/latest/download/universal.sh -o universal.sh
```

To check if the installation downloaded correctly:

```bash
stat universal.sh
```

### Step 2: Run the Installer

Make the script executable and run the script.

```bash
chmod u+x universal.sh
./universal.sh
```

### Step 3: Activate your client atSign

This command activates your atSign and prompts you to enter an OTP. This is only done during the setup of a brand new atsign.

```
~/.local/bin/at_activate -a @<REPLACE>_device
```

#### Enter the One Time Password (OTP) & Check your SPAM/PROMOTIONS folders

at\_activate will pause and wait for the input of a one time pin (OTP) sent to your email or phone number.

Once activated, the management keys will be saved in `~/.atsign/keys`.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.noports.com/installation/linux/cli-client.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
