Use the `install.sh` method when you want a simple Linux-based RustDesk Server Pro installation without writing your own service setup from scratch.
{{% notice note %}}
Don't forget to get your license from [https://rustdesk.com/pricing/](https://rustdesk.com/pricing/), check [license](https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/license/) page for more details.
Please read [OSS installation](https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-oss/install/) first before doing this simple install. You can know more underlying details there.

## When should you use install.sh?
Use `install.sh` when you want the fastest way to deploy RustDesk Server Pro on a Linux host with `systemd`. It is best for a straightforward single-server setup where you want the script to install dependencies, place binaries, create services, and optionally prepare HTTPS for the web console.
## install.sh quick answers
- Use this method for a simple Linux deployment with `systemd`.
- Use [Docker](https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/installscript/docker/#docker-compose) instead if you want easier upgrades, rollback, and container-based operations.
- Have your Pro license ready before you start.
- If you use a domain, the script can also set up `nginx` and `certbot` for HTTPS.
- Use `update.sh` for upgrades after the first installation.
## Install
Copy and paste the above command into your Linux terminal to install RustDesk Server Pro.
`wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro/main/install.sh | bash`
{{% notice note %}}
I recommend using [the Docker image](https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/installscript/docker/#docker-compose); it greatly simplifies the process of deploying the solution as well as updating it. The resource consumption is very low.
And please run above under your home directory rather than a diretory you have no write permission.

What it does:
- Install some dependencies
- Setup UFW firewall if available
- Create a working directory `/var/lib/rustdesk-server` and a log directory `/var/log/rustdesk-server`
- Installs executables into `/usr/bin`
- Download and extract RustDesk Pro Services to the above folder
- Create systemd services for hbbs and hbbr (service names are `rustdesk-hbbs.service` and `rustdesk-hbbr.service`)
- If you choose Domain, it will install Nginx and Certbot, allowing the API to be available on port `443` (HTTPS) and get an SSL certificate over port `80`, it is automatically renewed. When the https is ready, please access with `https://yourdomain.com` rather than `https://yourdomain.com:21114`.

If the systemd service fails to start, it is probably related to SELinux, please check [this](https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/faq/#selinux).

If your client cannot connect to your server or you cannot access the web console, please check [this](https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/faq/#firewall).

## Upgrade
Copy and paste the above command into your Linux terminal to upgrade your existing RustDesk Server Pro installation, this could also be saved locally and scheduled with cron.
`wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro/main/update.sh | bash`

If you encounter issues with this script, I would suggest you go through the script and execute the steps manually, one by one.
And please run above under your home directory rather than a diretory you have no write permission.

What it does:
- Checks for new versions of RustDesk Server Pro
- If it finds a new version, it removes the API files and downloads new executables and API files
## Convert from open source
Copy and paste the above command into your Linux terminal to convert from RustDesk Server to RustDesk Server Pro.
`wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro/main/convertfromos.sh | bash`
