Quick Installation

Intro

First, please make sure that you checked out the Requirements before you start with the installation.

To install CrossBox you need to have a valid and active license. If you don't have one, you can purchase it here.

Here we will show you how to install CrossBox on a single server. If you plan to install CrossBox on multiple servers, please head out to our CrossBox Cluster documentation to learn how you can unify communication across different servers and configurations.


Installation

 Run the Command 

SSH into your server and run the following command as root:

sh <(curl https://cdn.crossbox.io/install.sh || wget -O - https://cdn.crossbox.io/install.sh)

Then proceed to log in with your CrossBox.io account:

The URL will be similar to the one shown below, but unique to your installation instance:

Almost everything is already pre-populated for you and the entire process takes about ten minutes or often less, depending on your server's performance.
