Quick start

Five minutes: signing in, your first machine and your first command. You need a browser and a Linux server, or a computer where you can run a command in a terminal.

1. Sign in. Open app.tterm.net and enter your email: a code comes by mail. The first time, we ask your name and a quick four-digit code for this browser.

2. Add a machine. In the sidebar, press + next to Machines and choose Server or Computer. A command appears:

   On the server, as root or a user with sudo

   curl -sSL https://connect.tterm.net/s/<token> | sudo sh

   It works once, for the next 10 minutes. The server appears in the project as soon as the script finishes, usually within a minute.

3. Open a terminal. Press + next to the machine in the sidebar. The terminal opens in a tab: your shell, your programs, sudo.

4. Type a command. uptime, say. It comes back as a block: the output, the exit code, the time, the folder and the branch. You can close the tab: the terminal keeps running.

A computer instead of a server

A computer has a command of its own, and you run it without sudo: see Computer.
