## Linux, FreeBSD, Embedded Connector Install

The instructions to install the Agilicus Connector are nearly identical on various Unix operating systems. This includes desktops, servers, and embedded devices.

See a specific example, the [NanoPI R5S](https://www.agilicus.com/anyx-guide/agilicus-connector-nanopi-r5s/) or a [Synology NAS](https://www.agilicus.com/anyx-guide/synology-connector-install/). Most platforms are installed as follows:

### Create Agilicus Connector

First we will create a Connector. This logical endpoint allows reverse inbound connectors to safely occur.

We give the connector a name. This is used for statistics and diagnostics purposes.

You will now be presented with some download instructions. Copy the command line given for Linux.

### SSH to the device

SSH to your device. Run 'sudo -i' if you are not root (your prompt is not '#'). Now paste the command line

```
