Install the OcaltQL Client on Linux

Install the .deb, .rpm or AppImage and connect the machine to your account.

Open OcaltQL Client

Steps

  1. Go to client.ocalt.com, click Download the client, and download the file for your system and architecture (x86_64, arm64 or armhf).
  2. On Debian or Ubuntu run: sudo dpkg -i ocaltql-client.deb. On Fedora or Red Hat run: sudo rpm -i ocaltql-client.rpm.
  3. For the AppImage, first make it runnable: chmod +x ocaltql-client.AppImage, then run ./ocaltql-client.AppImage.
  4. Open http://localhost:12345 in a browser on that machine.
  5. Type your Ocalt identity, paste your Ocalt Client key into the key field, and type a Machine alias. Save.

Good to know

  • “Permission denied” on the AppImage means the chmod +x step was missed.
  • On ChromeOS, turn on the Linux environment in Settings, then install the .deb the same way.
  • A server you reach by SSH needs none of this: add it with its SSH login at client.ocalt.com/register and the agent is installed for you.
