BitNinja one-liner installation

The one-line installation command simplifies the setup by automatically detecting your server’s operating system and checking compatibility with BitNinja. It runs the same commands as the manual process, but in a more convenient way:

curl https://get.bitninja.io/install.sh | sudo /bin/bash -s - --license_key=YOUR_KEY_HERE --updateChannel=frequent

You can also select between four different update channels:

1. Frequent
2. Stable
3. Beta
4. Feature

If not given explicitly, the frequent channel is used by default.

If you use the one-line installation command above, you do not need to select your server’s Linux distribution; the script will automatically detect it and proceed with the installation accordingly.

BitNinja Manual installation

If you experience errors during the one-line installation script’s installation, we recommend using the manual installation process.

If you decide to use the manual installation process, detailed information can be found here.

If you experience any issue with the manual installation process, please don’t hesitate to contact us from the Dashboard via chat or send us an email to info@bitninja.io
