Linux Installation (Ubuntu/Debian)

Download

For Raspberry Pi, see the Raspberry Pi Installation guide.

Install (Ubuntu/Debian)

Run these commands in a terminal as a regular user (not root):

sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
wget https://agents.triggercmd.com/triggercmdagent_1.0.1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./triggercmdagent_1.0.1_amd64.deb

Set Up the Token

Desktop (X-Windows / Wayland)

If your system uses AppArmor, run this first:

sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

Then launch the agent:

triggercmdagent

A GUI window will appear. Log into triggercmd.com, copy your token from the Instructions page, and paste it into the token prompt.

Headless (No GUI)

Install Node.js 16 or newer if it's not already installed:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs -y

Then run the agent in console mode:

node /usr/lib/triggercmdagent/resources/app/src/agent.js --console

Log into triggercmd.com, copy your token from the Instructions page, and paste it when prompted.

Install the Background Service

The background service keeps the agent running after you log out.

Desktop

Right-click the TRIGGERcmd tray icon and select Background Service → Install Background Service.

Headless

First stop the console agent with CTRL-C, then run:

sudo sh /usr/lib/triggercmdagent/resources/app/src/installdaemon.sh

Service Management

Check if the service is running:

systemctl status triggercmdagent

Remove the background service:

sudo sh /usr/lib/triggercmdagent/resources/app/src/removedaemon.sh

Install (Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora)

sudo yum install wget -y
wget https://agents.triggercmd.com/triggercmdagent-1.0.1.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -i triggercmdagent-1.0.1.x86_64.rpm

Then follow the same token setup and background service steps above.

Verify

  1. Log into triggercmd.com.
  2. Click View Triggers — you should see your computer listed with some built-in commands.
  3. Click Trigger next to any command to test it.
