Creating a Linux User

Follow the next steps to create a Linux User with a home directory which will be used by the AimBetter Agent. This user doesn’t need any special permissions.

• Enter the Linux terminal with a user that has admin-level access
• Run the following script. We’ve named the username “aimbetter,” but you can choose any username

sudo useradd -m  aimbetter

• Check that the user was created with the chosen username with this script:

ls -la /home/aimbetter/

• After creating the “aimbetter” user, select a password for the user by entering the next command (“aimbetter” is the created username)

sudo passwd aimbetter

Following this command, an empty box will be displayed with an option to insert the password. Please insert your password and press enter.

If the password is not accepted according to the requirements, you will receive an error message and be requested to enter a new password.

If the password is accepted, you should receive a confirmation message.

Linux Script for the Responsive Agent

• Run the following command to permit the Linux user created to perform the actions available in the Responsive Agent feature. If your user name is “aimbetter”, substitute {userbane} for aimbetter.

sudo usermod -a -G sudo {username}
