Stratodesk NoTouch OS Installation

Introduction

Stratodesk NoTouch OS is a Linux-based, read-only operating system. On NoTouch OS, Sanas is deployed using an application distribution link instead of a traditional installer package. This deployment method ensures that endpoints always receive the latest Sanas features and updates automatically, eliminating the need for administrators or end users to manually install or update the application.

Note: Sanas works with both server-hosted (VDI) and self-hosted NoTouch OS.

Before You Begin

• NoTouch Center access

  You'll need admin access to NoTouch Center, the centralized management console for app deployment.

• OS version

  Stratodesk provides prebuilt support for Sanas on:

  Component	Minimum Version
  NoTouch OS	3.7.154 and above
  NoTouch Center	4.5.696 and above

Deployment Steps

1. Get the Sanas app distribution link. Contact Sanas Support to request your link. It is required before you can configure the deployment.

2. Configure the distribution link on NoTouch Center.

   1. Access NoTouch Center and log in with your credentials.

   2. Navigate to Group Settings in the left-side menu.

   3. Click New Connection in the selected group.

      

   4. Select Sanas under Connection Mode.

      

   5. Enter the app distribution link under Connection target.

   6. Enable Automatic start at system reboot.

   7. Enable Icon on desktop.

   8. Click Save, then click Announce to push the deployment to all connected endpoints.

      Note: Two endpoint restarts are required for a successful deployment. The first restart will display the Announce message, and the second restart will introduce the Sanas package.

   1. Authentication mode — Set to UAK (Unique Authentication Key). See Sign In to Sanas for a comparison of authentication modes.
