Install AxiGate

One command puts AxiGate on the computer where your agents run. It is free, needs no account, and is the same program whichever way you use it.

Install AxiGate on your own computer or server

On a Mac or Linux

Open a terminal on the computer where your agents run, and paste this.

Terminal
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/axigatelabs/axigate-finops/main/install.sh | sh

It downloads the right build for that computer, checks it arrived intact, and puts axigate-finops in a folder on your PATH, so you can run it from anywhere.

On Windows

The installer is for Mac and Linux. On Windows, download the Windows zip from the release page instead, unzip it and use the axigate-finops program inside.

Check a download

The installer checks each download against its SHA-256 for you. To check one by hand, download the archive for your computer and checksums.txt from the release page into one folder, and run this there. On Linux, use the sha256sum line in place of the shasum one.

Terminal
shasum -a 256 --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt
sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

OK means that archive matches the list. If it says anything else, don't run that download.

AxiGate's release workflow on GitHub also signs every release it builds, with no stored key. Once those releases are published, checksums.txt.sigstore.json on the release page is the signature over checksums.txt, and each archive comes with a list of the Go modules it was built from.

Check it worked

Ask it for its version. If it answers, AxiGate is installed.

Terminal
axigate-finops version

Running the same installer again later gets you the newest version. It is free every time.

What next

Pick the way in that fits how you work.

With a hosted workspace, make a key for each computer on Connect a gateway. It gives you the exact command to start with, that computer's key already in it, and shows the key only then.

In your own workspace this is Connect a gateway. Start free to get one.

Recap

  • On a Mac or Linux, run the installer; on Windows, download the release zip.
  • axigate-finops version shows it worked.
  • Start with the two-minute demo, then run your own agent with a limit.
