[LINUX] VRS X Setup Guide

Sudo is not necessary to start VRS X up, but to set up systemd service

1. Download zip file from the link given in e-mail, for example linux-arm64.zip
2. Unzip the file using command unzip linux-arm64.zip
3. Enter the directory using command cd linux-arm64.zip
4. Make binary executable using command chmod +x VRSX
5. Start it up: ./VRSX for desktop version, ./VRSX --headless for headless mode
6. Enter IP.OF.YOUR.MACHINE:8085 and provide licence key provided in an email

Your instance is ready to go!

Set up systemd service, sudo is necessary!

Assuming, you are using youruser user on machine and VRS X is unzipped into your home directory, for example /home/youruser/linux-arm64/, you can simply follow the instructions below, but overwrite youruser` with a real username in your OS

1. Create a systemd service file sudo touch /etc/systemd/system/vrsx.service
2. Copy and paste the service configuration using for example nano (sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/vrsx.service:

[Unit]
Description=VRSX
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=youruser
WorkingDirectory=/home/youruser/linux-arm64
ExecStart=/home/youruser/linux-arm64/VRSX --headless
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Once done, click Ctrl+O (save), Ctrl+X (exit)

If you want to create a strong admin password, try to edit this file using vi, LOL.

3. Make sure you have overwritten youruser with your username
4. Reload systemd using command sudo systemctl daemon-reload
5. Start and enable VRS X service using command sudo systemctl enable vrsx --now
6. Visit your VRS X instance on port 8085 (i.e. 192.168.100.100:8085) and activate it using the licence key from your email
