Installation guide
This page contains a short description on how to install ioBroker. See below for more detailed and localized version of the installation steps.
Linux based systems and MacOS
Installing ioBroker
Please open a SSH shell. You do not need to use a root shell to install ioBroker. If a normal unprivilidged user exists you should start the installation with this user.
Then execute
curl -sL https://iobroker.net/install.sh | bash -
This will install ioBroker in 4 steps and show its progress:
- Creating ioBroker directory (1/4)
- Downloading installation files (2/4)
- Installing ioBroker (3/4)
- Finalizing installation (4/4)
At the end you should see
ioBroker was installed successfully Open http://localhost:8081 in a browser and start configuring!
The installer will create a new user called "iobroker" on your Linux system and configures anything that iobroker and the adapter can run as this user. root is not longer needed and also "sudo" is no longer needed. Please do not use it!
Configure ioBroker
Go to http://IP-Adresse:8081 in your browser.
To install adapters please use Admin UI in your browser or the ioBroker commandline commands like:
- iobroker start/stop
- iobroker install adaptername
- iobroker add adaptername

Detailed Guide
Update Installation (Permissions, Access Rights, ...)
The installation as described above takes also care of setting correct permissions and access rights to files and also about special requirements. The installation logic will be enhances as soon as needed because additional requirements are added.
The version of your installation is included in a file called INSTALLER_INFO.txt in your ioBroker installation directory. You can always check in https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker/blob/master/CHANGELOG_INSTALLER_LINUX.md what was updated after you installed ioBroker.
For older installations or to update your installation to the latest installation version we have created a installation fixer script that is capable to update all installations to the same level. The changelog of this fixer can be found at https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker/blob/master/CHANGELOG_FIXER_LINUX.md
Running the Installation fixer is as easy as installing. Simply execute
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ioBroker/ioBroker/stable-installer/fix_installation.sh | bash -
and follow the instructions. You need to stop ioBroker before running the script.
