Deploy Sanas App on Stratodesk NoTouch OS

Introduction

Stratodesk NoTouch OS is a Linux-based read-only system, and the app deployment happens via the app distribution link. The advantages of the link-based distribution are that you receive the latest features and updates from Sanas, available without the need for manual app updates from the Admin or the app user.

This guide provides detailed instructions on deploying the Sanas App on a computer running NoTouch OS.
