Install Browseterm on Linux

Browseterm on Linux runs natively, managed by a headless browseterm command-line tool — no GUI and no Docker required.

Requirements

• A supported 64-bit Linux distribution (see release notes for the current list)
• Root or sudo access, for the one-time system service setup
• An active internet connection for setup and to sign in to Browseterm Cloud

Download and install

Download the Browseterm CLI — release coming soon

Setup

Interactive setup asks how many CPU cores, how much memory, and how much storage to allocate, with safe recommended defaults:

sudo browseterm setup

Copy command

For scripted/unattended installs, pass the resource allocation directly:

sudo browseterm setup --cpus 4 --memory 8Gi --storage 50Gi --non-interactive

Copy command

1. Run browseterm setup (see above). This installs a pinned version of k3s as a systemd service and applies the Browseterm application chart.
2. Run browseterm activate to link this machine to your Browseterm Cloud account. Since this is a headless machine, it prints a short code and a verification URL — open that URL from any browser to approve it.
3. Open app.browseterm.puhtaeto.com in your browser and create your first workspace.

Managing the service
