  3. Right-click on the download link and copy the link address.
  4. On your server, use the wget command to download the package:
cd /tmp
wget <paste the copied link address here>

Step 2: Install the Pritunl Dependencies

Pritunl has a few dependencies that it requires to run. To install these dependencies, use the following command:

Step 3: Configure MongoDB

Pritunl requires an instance of MongoDB to store its data. Follow these steps to set up MongoDB:

  1. Start the MongoDB service:
sudo sv start mongodb
  1. Enable MongoDB to start on boot:
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/mongodb /var/service/
  1. Create a user and database for Pritunl:
mongo
use pritunl
db.createUser({user: "pritunl", pwd: "<your_password_here>", roles: [{role: "readWrite", db: "pritunl"}]})
exit

Step 4: Install Pritunl

To install Pritunl, use the following commands:

cd /opt/pritunl
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo python setup.py install

Step 5: Configure and Start Pritunl

To configure Pritunl, you will need to create a configuration file. You can use the example configuration file provided by Pritunl as a starting point. Follow these steps:

  1. Copy the example configuration file to the /etc/pritunl.conf file:
sudo cp /opt/pritunl/examples/pritunl.conf /etc/pritunl.conf
  1. Edit the configuration file with your favorite text editor, and adjust the settings to your liking. Make sure to set the MongoDB URI to mongodb://pritunl:<your_password_here>@localhost/pritunl.
  2. Start the Pritunl service using the following commands:
sudo sv start pritunl
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/pritunl /var/service/
  1. Check the logs to make sure that Pritunl has started successfully:
sudo tail -f /var/log/pritunl.log
