Linux Installation

One-liner

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://get.monsys.ai/install.sh | sudo MONSYS_TOKEN=ms_… bash

The installer:

  1. detects architecture (x64/arm64) and distro;
  2. downloads the binary in /usr/local/bin/monsys-agent;
  3. sets up /etc/monsys/agent.toml with your token (mode 0640, root:monsys);
  4. plants honeypot canaries via monsys-agent --setup-honeypots;
  5. installs sudoers rules (scope-locked);
  6. installs and enables monsys-agent.service (systemd).

Required capabilities
