Insightful is the best employee productivity monitoring tool which support to the version of Linux operating systems.

This article is describing the installation process of Insightful to Linux operating systems. Because the website doesn’t have the clear guide to install it for Linux operating systems except the Windows and Mac OS environments.

The installation process is different for personal and company computers.

Company Computers

Company computer installation is done using the Linux terminal. In order to create a terminal line, you need your organization ID.

1. To get your unique Organization ID, first, log in to Insightful as the admin.
2. Go to Add New Employee > Company computers > Download for MacOS
3. In the terminal line, part of it will be your Organization ID. It looks like this:

export base="https://storage.googleapis.com/workpuls-updates/mac/daemon"; /bin/bash -c

"organizationId="OrganizationID"; $(curl -fsSL $base/install.sh)" 

4. Copy your Organization ID into the following:

export base="https://storage.googleapis.com/workpuls-updates/linux/service"; /bin/bash -c

"organizationId="organizationID"; $(curl -fsSL $base/install.sh)"

The type of owners are represented as,

u - User/Owner

g - Group

o - Other

a - All

Lets say if you give the permission as "0123", that means

0 for - User/Owner

1 for - Group

2 for - Other

3 for - All

You can use the following symbolic to change the user permission.

"+" Adds a permission to a file or directory

"–" Removes the permission

"=" Sets the permission and overrides the permissions set earlier.

Here I mentioned the user permission types to anyone can use.

Number	Permission	Symbol
0	No Permission	-
1	Execute	-x
2	Write	-w-
3	Execute + Write	-wx
4	Read	r–
5	Read + Execute	r-x
6	Read +Write	rw-
7	Read + Write +Execute	rwx
