This guide provides instructions for how to set up and use Granola Enterprise. Granola Enterprise does not have a graphical view, and is intended primarily for deployments across a number of systems. If you would prefer to save energy for free on your personal computer, try Granola Personal instead.

Installing Granola Connect

Granola Connect is the daemon that communicates with the Granola Dash. It is required for any Linux installation of Granola Enterprise

Configure your repository. See this page for instructions.
Install Granola Connect using your package manager.

For Debian/Ubuntu:
```
sudo apt-get install granola-connect
```
For RHEL/Fedora:
```
sudo yum install granola-connect
```
Fill in your credentials. Granola Connect can upload stats to the Granola website and download policy schedules to use on your computer. Before Granola Connect can run you will need to update the /etc/granola-connect.conf file with your username and password, in the [Credentials] section:
```
sudo vi /etc/granola-connect.conf
```

Upgrading Granola

Your package manager can upgrade all Granola packages. There is no need to uninstall the old version first.

Golden image installations

When Granola is run for the first time it creates a unique UUID to identify the machine. The UUID file must be removed on the master before rollout.

To remove the UUID and savings data files, after installation on the master image:

Stop Granola and Granola-Connect.
Delete all the temporary files created by Granola:
```
rm -r /var/lib/miserware/*
```

After removing the files be sure not to restart Granola or Granola Connect or temporary files will be regenerated on the master image.

Re-installation instructions

Granola and Granola Connect automatically configure and bootstrap themselves when they first communicate with the Granola website. Granola generates a unique UUID on any machine it is reinstalled on.

Validating an install

Verify your installation via your account on the Granola Dash. Assuming the installation goes smoothly, you should see the machines begin to register within twenty-four hours. Without buying licenses, you will have access to a detailed Energy Footprint view, enabling you to examine a detailed breakdown of IT energy consumption, cost, and environmental impact. If you would like more detailed information and optimization tools, you can purchase Granola Enterprise licenses.
