Here ZeroTier's registration, management background, and network creation will not be repeated here;

############ in the following code needs to be replaced with the Network ID created on the management page

Tip: On Unix systems, you may need to prefix the zerotier-cli command with sudo, while on Windows, you will need to use an administrator mode command prompt.

 1.  ZeroTier's Linux installation script

There are two installation methods for installing  zerotier in  ubuntu   using SSH . The progress of the installation process will be displayed:

● If you are willing to rely on SSL to authenticate your site, a one-line installation can be done with:

curl -s https://install.zerotier.com | sudo bash

● If you have GPG installed, a more secure option is available:

curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/master/doc/contact%40zerotier.com.gpg' | gpg --import && \
if z=$(curl -s 'https://install.zerotier.com/' | gpg); then echo "$z" | sudo bash; fi

 ZeroTier's Linux update script

If you use ZeroTier's linux install script from the download page , it will add the repo to your system. Update zerotier-one using apt or yum.

For example, on debian/ubuntu based systems:

View updatable software:

sudo apt update

Update  ZeroTier

sudo apt install zerotier-one

● Bonus tip: You can specify a version, say update to version 1.10.6 to update today:

sudo apt install zerotier-one=1.10.6

Tip: Keeping the version of each service client as consistent as possible can solve some metaphysical problems! !
