 Store it someplace; you'll need it to customize your installers

 ===== Download installer scripts =====
+Several installer scripts are available from [[https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/client-deployment/|RustDesk]]. These include:
+  * PowerShell script for Microsoft Windows
+  * Batch/cmd script for Microsoft Windows (use the PowerShell)
+  * Bash script for MacOS
+  * Bash script for Linux
+    * Note that this only works on systems which use SystemD as the init, but will give an error message if the distribution is unsupported
+Download the installers you want to use.
+===== Customize Scripts =====
-Substitute your DNS name for rustdesk.example.org and echo '{"host":"rustdesk.example.org","key":"wMloYQ1ITxrK/IMDcusccQZC0isjybRA16r9bSDhvqk="}' | base64 -w 0 | tr -d '=' | rev | echo
+Edit each installer script. In the script, you will find the string **configstring**, probably in single or double quotes. Replace **configstring** with what you received in the first step (your configuration string)
+These installers can be run on workstations which will automatically download and install RustDesk Client and do the base configuration.
-The first part is to
+===== Single script =====
+If you are on a Unix machine (includes MacOS), all of the steps can be done at one time. Download all of your installer scripts into one directory. Save them all with either a .sh or a .ps1 suffix (bash shell and powershell respectively), then run the command below in that directory.
-The script that techahold wrote will ask permission, then automatically install a lightweight web server and create customized installers for Windows and Linux. I'm not going into that here, but it is pretty straightforward. Another github user, dinger1986, has install scripts for [[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dinger1986/rustdeskinstall/master/WindowsAgentAIOInstall.ps1|Microsoft Windows]] and many flavors of [[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dinger1986/rustdeskinstall/master/linuxclientinstall.sh|Linux]] (not Devuan, unfortunately).
+If you already have your configuration string, create a file named configstr.txt and put it in there, with **no line returns**. No blank lines before, after, etc...
-Basically, you can download those scripts and run the following commands on them. Then, make them available to your users who can run them on their computer and have RustDesk Client installed on their computer, already set up for your server.
+WARNING: All .sh and .ps1 files in the directory will be modified with no backup.
-Download and edit the following file. Change your.url.or.ip to the URL or IP of your new server, and change contents_of_public_key_file_on_your_server to the contents of /opt/rustdesk/id_ed25519.pub. When done, you will have two files, //WindowsAgentAIOInstall.ps1//, which can be run with Windows Power Shell, and //linuxclientinstall.sh// which can be run from the command line on a Linux machine.

+This will also put the configuration string into the file configstring.txt. If you can not use an installer, just open that file and copy that in the clipboard and import it into your client (same as exporting above, just using the other icon)
