Connector Install

## Raspberry Pi

[CONTACT](https://www.agilicus.com/contact-us/)

## Overview

Modular single board computers (such as a Raspberry Pi) makes an excellent platform
to run the Agilicus Connector.

The below instructions were tested on a Raspberry Pi 4, specifically:

    ```wp-block-code
    # cat /etc/debian_version
    10.12
    # cat /etc/os-release
    PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
    NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
    VERSION_ID="10"
    VERSION="10 (buster)"
    VERSION_CODENAME=buster
    ID=raspbian
    ID_LIKE=debian
    HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
    SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
    BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"
    ```

During the installation, a Service Account will be created (permissions for the 
Connector to run as).

The Raspberry Pi installation uses the same instructions as the Linux ones (image
at right) A sample command line is offered in the Agilicus admin porttal, which 
may be pasted into the ssh shell.

You are now complete.

Logs (if any) are generated to /var/log/agilicus-agent.log (e.g. run ‘tail -F /var/
log/agilicus-agent.log’)

We may check the status once installed as below.
