I am trying to install remote.it on Bazzite, a Linux distro based on Fedora. When trying to install it though the provided command, it says something along the lines of sudo apt install command not found. What would be the proper way of installing remote.it on a Fedora based distro? None of the package managers I’ve tried have remoteit.
What is the package manager you have available on your system?
You would likely need to install it manually. You can try running this script and providing the output to see if we have the right distribution.
sh -c "$(curl -L https://downloads.remote.it/remoteit/distributiontest.sh)"
Please respond with the output of the command.

~~~~~~ OS INFO ~~~~~~Can I confirm that you are running the one-line command from desktop app or app.remote.it? If not, can you tell me what directions you are following?
You have yum as a package manager so we should be able to use that to install. You do not have apt installed, but you do not need it.
You should have been able to follow the instructions here for quick install selecting Linus as the device type to get the code.

I am using the command provided when I hit Linux in app.remote.it. When I do it does some things then says “sudo: apt-get: command not found”. I also tried “sudo yum install remoteit” and that did some things then said “error: Packages not found: remoteit”.
Okay, so I opted to attempt a manual install, it kept saying “This system is image (rpm-ostree) based.” So I installed the file for it from the website and I used sudo yum install to install the fire. It then did some installation stuff, then gave me some errors:
error: Running %post for remoteit: bwrap(/bin/sh): Child process killed by signal 1; run journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(remoteit.post)' for more information
After I do this command:
Nov 01 17:59:42 bazzite rpm-ostree(remoteit.post)[5349]: which: no rc-update in (/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)
Nov 01 17:59:42 bazzite rpm-ostree(remoteit.post)[5350]: which: no update-rc.d in (/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)
Nov 01 17:59:42 bazzite rpm-ostree(remoteit.post)[5345]: /usr/share/remoteit/functions.sh: line 29: /usr/share>
lines 1-3/3 (END)
Thank you so much for your help btw! I hope we can fix this soon.
It appears that you do not have apt installed on your OS, but you do have yum. However, you do not have the remoteit package downloaded. You will need to manually download and install it.
Go here remote.it Device Package Installation and on the right nav, you will see a link for Manual Installation and follow the instructions for yum
Go here to download your package to your device

According to your UNAME_M you have x86_64 so choose that package.
