### Using systemd (preferred)
|
|
|
|
Starting with version `0.15.0` when you install the playit program via `apt-get` we add a systemd unit which makes it easy to run playit in the background. Not sure how to install playit on linux or with `apt-get`? Check this out: {{< link "run-on-linux" >}}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start the playit agent in the background you can run
|
|
```
|
|
sudo systemctl start playit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want the playit agent start when you boot up your computer you can run
|
|
```
|
|
sudo systemctl enable playit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then to add (claim) the playit agent to your account you can run
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
playit setup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Using tmux
|
|
|
|
For this guide we'll be using `tmux`. To get started, run the `tmux` command in your terminal. You terminal should look like
|
|
|
|
![linux bad run ubuntu]({{< static "post-img/linux-tmux-terminal.png" >}})
|
|
|
|
Now inside of the tmux session run the playit program
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./playit-linux-amd64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're unable to run the playit program see
|
|
* {{< link "run-on-linux" >}}
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the playit program now running you can use the following keyboard combinations
|
|
|
|
* `Ctrl-b + d` to put the tmux session in the background
|
|
* `Ctrl-b + c` to create a new window to run another program (like the Minecraft Server)
|
|
* `Ctrl-b + 0` to view the first window, similary `Ctrl-b <num>` will let you go between windows
|
|
|
|
If you press `Ctrl-b + d` and put the tmux session in the background, you can always get it back by running the command
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tmux attach
|
|
```
