6.2 Install Instructions (Linux / macOS / Windows)

Orbnetes deployment and release orchestration documentation for operators and platform teams.

Orbnetes provides install flows per OS/architecture with token-based registration.

Linux

Typical flow:

  • download archive/binary,
  • extract (if archive),
  • run --install (interactive or flags),
  • set config path/work directory,
  • install/start service.

macOS

Typical flow:

  • download matching darwin package,
  • configure agent,
  • optionally install as launchd service.

Windows

Typical flow:

  • download .zip package,
  • extract binary,
  • run install command,
  • optionally register as Windows service.

Best practices for all OS:

  • Use dedicated service account where possible.
  • Keep work directory on stable disk with enough free space.
  • Ensure outbound network access to Orbnetes API.
  • Pin architecture correctly (amd64, arm64, etc.).
