Desktop app
Download the desktop app for your OS and open it.
The macOS zip holds Jumpgate.app and Jumpgate Terminal.app; Windows has jumpgate-tray.exe and jumpgate.exe; Linux has install.sh. Every download carries both Linux agents.

Debian or Ubuntu Linux with systemd. Setup installs packages with apt-get.
Root over SSH, for pairing and setup, or a user with passwordless sudo and --sudo. Setup writes systemd units, manages services with systemctl and installs binaries to /usr/local/bin. Preflight checks for Linux, root, systemd and free disk, and stops with a clear message if one is missing.
The node services themselves run as an unprivileged system account that setup creates, never as root.
