Quick start

Get up and running with Privato in under 5 minutes.

1. Create an account

You should start by creating your Privato account.

Visit privato.pub/app/register and enter your details.

Once you've verified your email address, you can go through the onboarding steps to connect your GitHub and Stripe account.

2. Configure a package

Navigate to the "Packages" page, click "Create package" and fill out your package's basic information.

When you land on the "Overview" page for your package, you can click through each of the tabs at the top of the page and configure further options for your package.

3. Create a release

Once your package has been connected to a GitHub repository, you can go ahead and create a new release.

Privato configures a webhook on your repository and will sync the release information into Privato. The tarball for the release will also be synced and served when a customer attempts to download the package.

4. Test your installation

The "Overview" tab of your package provides a set of generic installation instructions and a perpetual license that you can use to install the package yourself.

Use the commands provided to test the package installation process and ensure everything works as expected.
