# Installing Remoteit on a Raspberry Pi
1. Set remoteit_install and remoteit_enabled to "True" in /etc/local_vars.yml.
2. Run the role that installs remote.it.`
# Remote support of an Internet-in-a-Box using https://remote.it
Remote.it can be a great way to remotely support an Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB).
For other approaches, please see http://FAQ.IIAB.IO -> "How can I remotely manage my Internet-in-a-Box?"
To install remote.it onto a Raspberry Pi IIAB:
1. Set `remoteit_install` and `remoteit_enabled` to `True` in your IIAB's [/etc/iiab/local_vars.yml](http://wiki.laptop.org/go/IIAB/FAQ#What_is_local_vars.yml_and_how_do_I_customize_it.3F)
2. Install it (remote.it) onto your IIAB, by running:
```
./runroles remoteit
cd /opt/iiab/iiab
sudo ./runrole remoteit
```
3. The last step installs the remoteit code. But the last part of the install is designed to be interactive, and returns a registration code which i required to make the connection from your remoteit global registration. So run the last step to retrieve and record the registration number.
EXPLANATION: The above installs remote.it code, in a way that was originally designed to be interactive, and provide you the registration code needed to make remote connections to this IIAB.
3. To obtain this IIAB's remote.it registration code, run:
```
cd /opt/iiab/downloads
apt reinstall ./remoteit-4.13.5.armhf.rpi.deb
sudo apt reinstall /opt/iiab/downloads/remoteit-4.13.5.armhf.rpi.deb
```
4. After you have installed the remote.it client desktop on your laptop, click on the + icon, and enter the registration number displayed in step #3.
4. Record this registration code in a safe place, similar to a password!
5. After you've installed the https://remote.it client software onto a separate computer or device (e.g. your own laptop) click on the '+' icon, then enter the remote.it registration number (for the IIAB that you need to connect to).
