Installation

First, upload the LogCraft tarball to the target server. Then, connect via SSH and extract its contents into /opt:

tar xzf logcraft-platform-25.1.tar.gz -C /opt

Next, run the install command to set up LogCraft. The command prompts for an administrator password and optionally for configuring systemd and logrotate.

/opt/logcraft/bin/logcraft install

Finally, although optional, it’s recommended to add LogCraft’s bin directory to the system PATH for convenience.

echo 'export PATH="/opt/logcraft/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Congratulations, LogCraft is installed 🎉

Administrator email
