Once +you've signed in to Netdata Cloud and installed the Netdata Agent on all your nodes, you can claim these nodes and see +their real-time metrics on a single interface. + +## Sign in to Netdata Cloud + +If you don't already have a free Netdata Cloud account, go ahead and [create one](https://app.netdata.cloud). + +Choose your preferred authentication method and follow the onboarding process to create your Space. + +## Install the Netdata Agent + +The Netdata Agent runs permanently on all your physical/virtual servers, containers, cloud deployments, and edge/IoT +devices. It runs on Linux distributions (**Ubuntu**, **Debian**, **CentOS**, and more), container/microservice platforms +(**Kubernetes** clusters, **Docker**), and many other operating systems (**FreeBSD**, **macOS**), with no `sudo` +required. + +> ⚠️ Many distributions ship with third-party packages of Netdata, which we cannot maintain or keep up-to-date. For the +> best experience, use one of the methods described or link to below. + +The **recommended** way to install the Netdata Agent on a Linux system is our one-line [kickstart +script](/packaging/installer/methods/kickstart.md). This script automatically installs dependencies and builds Netdata +from its source code. + +<OneLineInstall /> + +Copy the script, paste it into your node's terminal, and hit `Enter`. + +Open your favorite browser and navigate to `http://localhost:19999` or `http://REMOTE-HOST:19999` to open the dashboard. + +<details> +<summary>Watch how the one-line installer works</summary> +<iframe width="820" height="460" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tVIp7ycK60A" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> +</details> + +### Other operating systems/methods + +Want to install Netdata on a Kubernetes cluster, with Docker, or using a different method?

Claiming establishes a secure TLS +connection to Netdata Cloud using the [Agent-Cloud link](/aclk/README.md), and proves you have write and administrative +access to that node. + +When you view a node in Netdata Cloud, the Agent running on that node streams metrics, metadata, and alarm status to +Netdata Cloud, which in turn streams those metrics to your web browser. Netdata Cloud does not store or log metrics or +alarm status. + +To claim a node, you need to run the claiming script. In Netdata Cloud, click on your Space's name, then **Manage your +Space** in the dropdown. Click **Nodes** in the panel that appears. Copy the script and run it in your node's terminal. +For example: + +```bash +sudo netdata-claim.sh -token=TOKEN -rooms=ROOM1,ROOM2 -url=https://app.netdata.cloud +``` + +The script should return `Agent was successfully claimed.` after creating a new RSA pair and establishing the link to +Netdata Cloud. + +For more information on the claiming process, why we implemented it, and how it works, see the [claim](/claim/README.md) +and [Agent-Cloud link](/aclk/README.md) reference docs. + +<details> +<summary>Watch how claiming nodes works</summary> +<iframe width="820" height="460" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UAzVvhMab8g" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> +</details> + +## What's next? + +At this point, you have set up your free Netdata Cloud account, installed the Agent, and claimed one or more nodes to +your Space.
