Install naisdevice

Device-specific installation steps

  1. Install Homebrew unless you already have it.
  2. Run these commands in a terminal
    brew tap nais/tap
    brew install naisdevice-tenant
    
  3. You will be asked for your local device account's password to finish the installation.

  4. Turn on your freshly installed naisdevice app.

  5. Use <Command> + <Space> to find your naisdevice.app and press <Enter>.
  1. Install Scoop unless you already have it.

    Scoop makes it possible to install and maintain programs from the command line.
    

  2. Use the following command in the command line to add the nais bucket to let Scoop know where to get and update files from. Do not worry about where it will be installed, we got you covered.

    scoop bucket add nais https://github.com/nais/scoop-bucket
    

  3. When the bucket is added, you are ready to install naisdevice, by typing the following in the command line:

    scoop install naisdevice-tenant
    
    (you will be asked for administrator access to run the installer)

  4. Start naisdevice from the Start menu

  1. Go to github.com/nais/device.
  2. Download and run the newest naisdevice-tenant.exe installer (you will be asked for administrator access when you run the installer).
  3. Start naisdevice from the Start menu.
