  2. Run the Installation Script

    Execute the script with root privileges:

The script will automatically install both the vPlus server and node components on your machine.

Post-Installation Steps

Now you should be able to log in to the vPlus server using https://IP_OF_YOUR_MACHINE with the local node registered and running. By default, vPlus has one admin account - admin with the password vPr0tect (with a zero).

After the initial log in, you can configure single sign-on using LDAP or Keycloak.
