# 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]
> 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 |

  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]
> 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.
3. **Configure app users for Stratodesk:**
  1. **Authentication mode** — Set to **UAK (Unique Authentication Key)**. See [**Sign In to Sanas**](https://help.sanas.ai/docs/sign-in-to-sanas#sign-in-to-the-sanas-application) for a comparison of authentication modes.
  2. **Add app users** — Users need a **User ID** and **Group ID** to authenticate. See [**App Users Management**](https://help.sanas.ai/docs/manage-app-users).
