Create an Elemento Account

To get started, click the Sign Up button at the top right of our website and follow the instructions to create an account. Wait for the confirmation email and set the account password.

Remember to choose a secure password, consisting of at least eight characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

If you have already an account but you forgot the password you can recover it from here.

Install Electros application

Download our app Electros for your Operating System from our website. If you prefer to use the CLI, you can download the elemento-cli via pip package manager:

# Create a virtual environment (optional)
python3 -m venv elemento-venv
source elemento-venv/bin/activate

# Installation via pip package manager
python3 -m pip install elemento-cli

During the rest of the demo we will use the desktop app, but all the steps can be performed also via the CLI tool. You can find details about the it in the Electros tech pack.

Install AtomOS on a host

AtomOS is compatible with the OS contained in this page. Be sure that the OS of your host is compatible before starting the installation.

We strongly suggest the installation of Almalinux 9.x unless you have special needs that require a debian-based distro. The demo is performed using Almalinux 9.5.

After you have installed the base OS you can follow the guide here to setup AtomOS with the new CLI.

After the AtomOS installation (and a reboot of the host), open the Electros app and perform login with your Elemento's credentials.

:::warning NOTE: The ISO is currently retrieved from /tmp/, be sure to place it in the folder before creating the Virtual Machine.

Future steps: Will be done automatically. :::
