System Console (syco) is a collection of installation and management scripts that helps a sysop to administrate his linux servers.

Clone the repo from github. It's preferred to install it in the /opt folder.

    cd /opt
    git clone https://github.com/systemconsole/syco.git

Setup a proper configuration file, for example

    ln -s  /opt/syco/usr/mod-template/etc/install.cfg /opt/syco/etc/install.cfg

Add private/customized scripts, for example

    cd /opt/syco/usr
    git clone https://github.com/systemconsole/syco-private.git

Let syco install it self.

    /opt/syco/bin/syco.py install-syco

Now you can run the syco script from anywhere, for example.

    cd /root
    syco hardening

If you are member of the syco team, use this to push things back to github.

    ssh-keygen -t rsa
    cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
    # Insert the output into www.github.com.
    git clone git@github.com:arlukin/syco.git
