# Welcome to Elemento!

# Sign up on Elemento
To get started, click the "*Sign Up*" button at the top right of our [website](https://elemento.cloud) and follow the instructions to **create** an account. Remember to choose a secure password, consisting of at least eight characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

## Forgot your password?
**No problem**! If you have forgotten your password, you can easily reset it via the [password recovery link](https://portal.elemento.cloud/password_recovery). Follow the provided instructions and you will be able to access your account again.

# Installation of Elemento Software


## Elemento **ElectrOS** App:
Download our app [Electros](https://www.elemento.cloud/electros-download).

:::danger
Electros requires *git* to be installed on the machine!
:::

#### Elemento Daemons
You can download the Daemons directly through the ElectrOS app.

## Install AtomOS on your private servers

### From an existing rhel compliant installation (Rockylinux or Almalinux)

`sudo bash -c "curl https://repo.elemento.cloud/get-atomos.sh | bash"`

<!-- ### From our ISO
If you haven't installed AtomOS on your device yet, you can easily do so by downloading its live ISO version from [this link](https://repo.elemento.cloud/iso/AtomOS.iso). If you prefer a version without a graphical interface, you can opt for [this alternative ISO](https://repo.elemento.cloud/iso/AtomOS-headless.iso). Once you have downloaded the file, follow the instructions to burn it to a USB stick or DVD, then boot the computer from this media. If you have any doubts on how to do this, don't hesitate to ask a more experienced friend or family member for help. -->

## AtomOS License

AtomOS is provided as a single .iso file that can act as a free version or become a licensed professional version, depending on the presence of a valid paid license.
The licenses will be associated with your Elemento account: since the association will be done using the email address as the key, during the purchase process **always remember to use an email address associated with a valid Elemento account**.

To purchase one or more AtomOS licenses, visit [this page](https://buy.stripe.com/7sIg1t2Aj8JOgb6003) and complete the purchase process.

:::success
Remember: annual plans can save you 20%!
:::

Once the purchase is processed, you will receive your new license directly in your ElectrOS app.
Go to the Licenses page to view your copies of AtomOS.

![Image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1H3kGIS6.png)

Licenses with a gray *Activated* button are already in use.
Licenses with a green *Activate* button can be enabled by clicking on it.
After clicking, an additional section will appear, showing the license's cryptographic key. Do not close the section or the app as this information will only be shown once.

![Licenses2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJhV7S8B6.jpg)

As suggested by the prompt, copy the entire contents of the gray box into the file `/etc/elemento/atomos.license` on the running AtomOS instance for which you are activating the license.
    
:::info
   Are you using the *demo* cluster? Don't worry, licenses are on us.
    Since licenses are server-side, you will not see anything there unless you purchase some licenses.
:::

### Storages
:::info
Volumes will be searched in `/mnt/`, mount here your volumes!

Every path with a *settings.json* file will be used to create volumes.

```json
{
    "max-volumes": 10,
    "max-size": 1000
}
```

If you just installed AtomOS a *settings.json* file is waiting for you in */mnt*
