Install the Artica Web API agent on your Linux server

• Return back to the managed reverse-proxy service main section

The Artica agent is in charge of installing all necessaries components, you did not need to install anything on your Linux server.
A good starting point is to install a Debian Net-install with limited features.

1. Copy the articarest service on your server: 
   you can downoad it using 
   wget http://articatech.net/download/articarest-current.tar.gz && tar -xf articarest-current.tar.gz
2. run the command to enable the service :
   chmod 0755 articarest
./articarest -install  
3. By default the service listen on the loopback interface on port 9503, change it the appropriate interface example:
   ./articarest -interface ens192 -port 8888
   Note: Do not try to set the port to a standard port such as 80/443 so as not to conflict with the Web service.
4. If you wan to enable SSL instead of HTTP, add the -ssl token:
   ./articarest -interface ens192 -port 8888 -ssl
   A self-signed certificate will be automatically created.
5. You can perform both settings and install in the same command-line:
   ./articarest -install -interface ens192 -port 8888 -ssl  
    
6. Start the Web API service using:
   service artica-rest start or /etc/init.d/artica-rest start
7. Get the service status using:
   service artica-rest status or /etc/init.d/artica-rest status
