How do I Activate Shinobi?

Activate the Shinobi Server Software

There are two ways to do this. The easiest being through the Superuser panel. The second being through the Terminal (Command line).

Activating through Superuser Panel

Login to the superuser panel.

1. Open the IP Address of your Shinobi server in your web browser.

• Be sure /super is the web path.
• The IP address printed in the terminal window when Shinobi is done installing
• The Login page will appear with a Green hue to signify you are at the correct login page.

http://YOUR_SHINOBI_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:8080/super

2. Login with the default Superuser credentials.

• Username : [email protected]
• Password : admin

Note : Be sure that you change these credentials in the Preferences tab of the Superuser panel.

Activating through Terminal

Modify the Shinobi Main Configuration file and add the parameter subscriptionId.

Here is what you would paste in your conf.json on Line 2 of the file. sub_XXXXXXXXXXX would be replaced with your Subscription ID.

"subscriptionId":"sub_XXXXXXXXXXX",

You can do this from either the Superuser panel or terminal. By default Shinobi is installed at /home/Shinobi and located inside you will find the conf.json file.

Where to get a Subscription ID?

You may get one at the ShinobiShop website.

If you ordered through PayPal you should have recieved an email with this information.

Did not get the PayPal email with your key?

You can view your active subscriptions, the ID of the subscription is the partial License Key.

For example : I-XXXXXXXXXX
