How To Install Unified Remote Server (Portable) via Terminal

The portable version of the Unified Remote Server can be used when you don't want to use a package manager on Linux.

Download the package using wget or your preferred http client.

$ wget -O urserver.tar.gz http://www.unifiedremote.com/d/$id

Replace $id with the package you want to download:

Replace http://www. with http://http. if you get SSL errors.

Extract the package to a suitable location:

$ tar -zxvf urserver.tar.gz

Open the extracted directory, for example:

$ cd urserver-3.0.11.563/

To start the server in the active terminal:

$ ./urserver

To start the server in as a daemon (forked process):

$ ./urserver --daemon --pidfile=~/.urserver/urserver.pid

To stop the daemon:

$ kill -TERM $(cat urserver.pid)
