Install Orb on RPM-based Systems (CentOS, Fedora, RHEL)
These instructions are for installing Orb on RPM-based Linux distributions like CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://pkgs.orb.net/stable/rpm/orb.repoInstall Orb
sudo dnf install orbStart Orb
sudo systemctl enable --now orbEnable auto-updates
sudo systemctl enable --now orb-update.timerEnable ephemeral mode (optional)
Info
Ephemeral mode prevents writes to disk by storing the Orb data in memory rather than in a local database. This is useful in applications where the file system is on a physical medium sensitive to continous writes (e.g. SD card, NAND flash).
echo 'ORB_EPHEMERAL_MODE=1' | sudo tee -a /etc/default/orb >/dev/null
sudo systemctl restart orbLink Orb to account
Info
If you want to link your sensor to your Orb account you need to run the link command under the orb user created during installation, not the user you are logged in as.
sudo -u orb orb link
