If you're looking for a way to remotely manage your devices, MeshCentral is an excellent platform to consider. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing MeshCentral on your Ubuntu Server latest version, step-by-step.
Before we begin, let's make sure our system is fully updated and upgraded. Open the terminal and type the following command:

sudo apt-get install -y curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Now, let's install Git using the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y git
Go to MeshCentral's Github repository and copy the URL. Then, clone the repository to your server using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral.git
Navigate to the MeshCentral directory and install the required NPM dependencies using the following command:
cd MeshCentral
npm install --unsafe-perm
Finally, start the MeshCentral server using the following command:
node meshcentral
