How to install Speedify on Linux
Installing Speedify on Linux is easy! First, if you don't have one already, get started by purchasing an Unlimited Speedify plan from the Speedify Store. The Speedify software is distributed via a repository server which means that it integrates with the package management tools that are built into your Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian based distribution.
One Step Install
To install Speedify open a terminal window as root and type:
wget -qO- https://get.speedify.com | bash -
If you are not running as root, use
wget -qO- https://get.speedify.com | sudo -E bash -
This will download and install the correct version of Speedify for your system. If your system has a desktop environment, then this includes the Speedify user interface. In either case, it will include the Speedify command line interface to allow you to interact with Speedify from the terminal.
If the automatic install script did not work for your Debian based distribution, try the manual install instructions below.
Configuration
Speedify can be configured and controlled through either the UI or the command line interface (CLI).
Logging In
To login with the CLI:
/usr/share/speedify/speedify_cli login {username} {password}
After logging in, connect Speedify by running:
/usr/share/speedify/speedify_cli connect
Automatic Start
By default, the Speedify background service will run after installation and when the device boots, but Speedify will not automatically connect to the VPN by default.
To set Speedify to automatically connect, run:
/usr/share/speedify/speedify_cli startupconnect on
Now when you reboot your device, Speedify will automatically start and connect. It will also enable sharing features, if you have it configured, so you can have your bonding device ready to go without any user interaction.
To stop the Speedify service from running at boot completely, run:
sudo systemctl disable speedifyOne Step Install
