Installing SSH Client (OpenSSH)

• SSH may be installed by default on most systems (I've yet to come across a Linux distro where it isn't installed)

• SSH also comes with 2 parts. SSH client & Server

  • SSH Client = Connect to Servers

  • SSHD Server = Accept Incoming Connections To Your Host (Hosting your SSH Server)

Confirming If you Have SSH installed

• Run this command in your terminal (universal command, works on ALL systems!)

•

Linux Install

• Depending on your distro, but these commands should work, if not then use Google!

#Ubuntu Debian / Will work on most distros
sudo apt update && sudo apt install openssh-client

#Fedora
sudo dnf install openssh-clients

#Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S openssh

#CentOS
sudo yum install openssh-clients

#openSUSE
sudo zypper install openssh

Mac Install

brew install openssh

Windows Install

• Windows is a bit trickier to get SSH but still pretty simple

1. In Search, type "Optional Features" -> "SSH"

2. 
3. SSH Client should appear, if it doesn't then most likely your system is not suitable for SSH.

4. Also note, that for me it says "Remove", since I already have it installed. Obviously you should click 'install' or 'add' or any other option prompting an installation.

5. You may have to restart your PC for everything to work properly (recommended)

6. Open up terminal, type in "ssh" and you should get the following message

7. 
8. Congratulations! You have installed SSH successfully!
