Install Remediate on online nodes

Install Puppet Remediate on a Linux or Windows machine that is connected to the internet.

Before you begin

Make sure you meet the system requirements for installing and running Remediate, and that you have received your license.

Install and run Docker on the node where you want to install Remediate.
1. Download Docker for your operating system:
  - Linux: Docker CE 17.04.0-ce or higher, or Docker EE 17.06.1 or higher.
  - Windows: Docker for Windows.
2. Download Docker Compose.
  
  Note: If installing Docker Compose on Windows, create a new environment variable called COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS and set it to 1. By doing this, you enable path conversion from Windows-style to Unix-style in volume definitions. For more information, see the Docker Compose documentation.
3. Initialize a swarm by running the following command:
```
docker swarm init
```
Download the Remediate Docker Compose file to the same directory as your license.

Note: If you want to manually validate the signature, see Verify Docker Compose file for online installs for more information.
Run the following command ⁠(replacing your-license.json with your own license):
```
docker-compose run remediate start --license-file your-license.json
```
The container images are pulled from the Google Cloud Platform.

To check that all the images have downloaded and that the containers have started running, run the following command:

docker ps
