Installation instructions

First, you'll need an access key. Then run the following commands as root, replacing YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the access key you received upon sign-up:

wget -N https://www.ksplice.com/uptrack/install-uptrack
sh install-uptrack YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
uptrack-upgrade -y

If you'd like Ksplice Uptrack to automatically install updates as they become available, run:

sh install-uptrack YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --autoinstall

in place of the above install-uptrack command, or set "autoinstall = yes" in your /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf after installation.

If installing on a Debian or Ubuntu machine, you may first need to install the ca-certificates package with apt-get install ca-certificates. Without this package you will see a "certificate verification error".
