# Connectivity in 60 Seconds

## I'm a total beginner, what do I do?

{% hint style="success" %}
There are 5 steps to get you connected. This should take you no more than 60 seconds.
{% endhint %}

1.  Login to The Adexa Web Application using your browser. 
2.  Go to \
   \
   `[DEVICES]` **>** `[NEW DEVICE]` \
   \
   Create a new device using the architecture for your device.<br>
3. Once this is done, it will download a zip file. This file contains the Ardexa Agent and the security certificates. Copy this file to your Linux device.<br>
4. Install the file on your device using the Debian install package command. See this [reference](https://docs.ardexa.com/knowledge/configure/ardexa-agent/install) for details.<br>
5. You should now see the device online (make sure the "circle and line" symbol has disappeared). The figure below shows the difference between an online and offline device. \
   \
   You can check the device is online by running a command from the Ardexa App, in: `[DEVICES]` **>** `[REMOTE SHELL]`
