Installing Teclada

The Teclada host runtime works like an advanced sshd, but is much easier to set up. Pick the package manager/ platform below for your distro:

• Linux
  • Ubuntu/Debian (apt-based)
  • Fedora (yum / rpm-based)
  • Manual / Others
• Mac (both x86 and M1/M2)

We support Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, Fedora 36+, and Linux Mint 20+. If you need packages for another distro, please contact us and let us know - so we can prioritize it.

apt (Debian, Ubuntu)

   curl -s https://app.teclada.com/apt_setup.sh | sudo bash
   sudo apt install teclada

   sudo teclada setup

CentOS/Redhat

Automated package installation coming soon. Contact support@teclada.com for manual RHEL/CentOS instructions. We're happy to help you get started.

Manual installation

This installation method is not recommended. We have only prepared one manual installation package, based on the same files as the Ubuntu 22.04 release package. It should work with Ubuntu 22.04+ and Fedora 36+. If you need a manual installation package for another system, please contact us with your use-case.

1. Download and install the package:

   curl -L https://github.com/Teclada/teclada/releases/latest/download/teclada_linux.tar.gz --output teclada.tar.gz
   
   # Will install to the default location. You can change it if needed.
   install_location="/"
   
   sudo tar -xf teclada.tar.gz -C "$install_location"
   

2. One time setup to link this computer to your Teclada account:

   sudo "$install_location/bin/teclada" setup
   

3. Start Teclada:

   sudo nohup "$install_location/bin/teclada" &
   

4. Go to app.teclada.com to log in.
