Step 1: Before you begin

This article is part of the Admin Setup (Step-by-Step) guide.

Congrats on your new machine!

For remote control over your machine's settings and wallet, let's set up the server and admin software.

The following is a step-by-step guide to doing so using a Linux, Mac OS, or Windows computer, intended for anyone without prior experience.

Please follow each step carefully, as omitting any may mean starting over with a new server.

Preliminary notes

Before beginning, please ensure you've reviewed some key articles on your new machine:

• Welcome to your new Cryptomat! – Start here
• Powering on and off the Douro
• Best Practices for Connectivity
• Physical setup

Then, continue with Step 2 in this section.

Note on existing machines

If you have an existing machine which is not yet on the next-gen platform that was introduced in late 2017, it will need to be unpaired from the legacy admin and upgraded from the legacy machine software before pairing with the latest admin.

Please see this article to discern between versions: Identifying legacy & next-gen platforms

Use 'Upgrading the Douro from legacy versions' or 'Upgrading the Trofa from legacy versions'.
