If you don't own a pair of atSigns/addresses, please visit the registrar before continuing

Step 1: Download the Installer

First, make sure that you have curl available on your system, curl is a common shell utility.

The following command will download the universal.sh bash installer into your current directory:

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

To check if the installation downloaded correctly:

ls | grep -w "universal.sh"

Step 2: Run the Installer

Make the script executable and run the script.

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

Type in client when asked for what type of install. Continue following along with the instructions provided with the installer until the installation is complete.

Useful tips when answering the client installation

Your client atSign should look like : @sshnp_client

Your device atSign should look like: @sshnp_device

Device name should look like: my_host, pi3, home_server_2

Step 3: Activate your client atSign

If you've activated your client atSign on another device already, this step will not work. Instead, follow this guide: Reuse your client atSign on another machine

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>_client

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 master keys will save at ~/.atsign/keys.
