Retrieve API Key​

Log in and retrieve an API key from https://app.airpipe.io/apikeys

You have several deployment/setup options depending on your requirements.

Setup with systemd​

  curl -s https://download.airpipe.io/setup.sh | sudo bash -s -- --api-key enter-your-api-key-12345

This will automatically setup the necessary folders and airpipe.service script.

Download the binary to the current directory​

  curl -s https://download.airpipe.io/setup.sh | sudo bash -s -- \
    --api-key enter-your-api-key-12345 \
    --download

Download the binary to the current directory and generate directories​

This is typically used in tutorial mode.

  curl -s https://download.airpipe.io/setup.sh | sudo bash -s -- \
    --api-key enter-your-api-key-12345 \
    --local

Download directly, without piping to a shell​

If you would rather not pipe a script into sudo bash — or your environment does not allow it — fetch the binary yourself. Every release publishes a SHA-256 next to it so you can verify what you downloaded before running it.

  # Resolve the current version
  VERSION=$(curl -sf https://download.airpipe.io/latest.version)

  # x86_64 — for ARM machines use aarch64 instead
  BASE="https://download.airpipe.io/${VERSION}/linux/x86_64"

  curl -fLO "${BASE}/airpipe"
  curl -fLO "${BASE}/airpipe.sha256"

  sha256sum -c airpipe.sha256    # expects: airpipe: OK
  chmod +x airpipe

Only run the binary once the checksum reports OK. If it does not match, the download is incomplete or has been tampered with — delete it and fetch again.

You still need an API key to start it:

  ./airpipe --api-key enter-your-api-key-12345

The checksum is generated from the build artifact at release time, so it verifies the file we published rather than the file you happened to receive.
