# Atlas probe setup instruction

The atlas probe software requires a rsa 2048-4096 key for registration.

Follow these steps to register your probe on the ripe-atlas systems.
1. Insert your username in the atlas config file (/etc/config/atlas)
2. Use the command '/etc/init.d/atlas create_key' to create a priv/pub key.
3. The priv/pub key will be stored on the directory /etc/atlas/
4. Use the command '/etc/init.d/atlas get_key' to get the public key used for probe registration.
   Make sure to copy the entire key and that the last value is the correct username
5. Follow the instruction from the past command or go to 'https://atlas.ripe.net/apply/swprobe/'
   and register your probe.
