Paste this on the GX shell

Run this as root on a Venus OS / Cerbo GX device. The installer downloads the latest ARMv7 release, verifies the signed SHA256SUMS manifest, installs to /data/phaeton, creates /data/phaeton/run.sh, and updates /data/rc.local for autostart.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/virtunetbv/phaeton/main/scripts/install-gx.sh | sh

Installation checklist

Download the matching tarball, SHA256SUMS, and SHA256SUMS.sig from GitHub Releases.
Verify the signed checksum manifest before copying the artifact to the device.
Extract the tarball into /data/phaeton on Venus OS or your chosen application directory on standard Linux.
Run Phaeton and finish the setup wizard at port 8088.
Claim or sign in with the portal account you want to use for activation.

Release targets

Cerbo GX, Raspberry Pi 2/3/4 on 32-bit Linux: armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
Raspberry Pi 3/4/5 on 64-bit Linux: aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
Raspberry Pi Zero / Pi 1: arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
Linux AMD64: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Choose the right artifact

Download the tarball that matches the Linux target. Cerbo GX and most 32-bit Venus OS installs use the ARMv7 artifact.

Verify the download

Download SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.sig from the release page, use release-signing-public.pem from the public repository, verify the signature, then run sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS before installing.

Install on Venus OS

Copy the tarball to /data, extract it into /data/phaeton, and keep all writable files under /data because Venus OS does not persist /usr/local or /etc.

First run

Start /data/phaeton/phaeton, open http://<device-ip>:8088/, create the admin account in the first-run wizard, then complete activation.
