Management Console package installation on Linux

Starting with Resilio Connect 3.8.0, Management Console DEB, RPM packages are available for Linux OS.

Requirements:
- arch: x64 (amd64, x86_64)
- init manager: systemd (with systemctl)

Note: even though legacy init.d script is available in the packages, it is not guaranteed to work on every GNU/Linux distribution, so it's recommended to use distribution with systemd.

Download the .deb package from the Resilio Connect download site and run the command:

sudo dpkg -i resilio-connect-management-console_<version>_<architecture>.deb
To enable automatic startup of Management Console service 
sudo systemctl enable resilio-connect-management-console

Other options to manage the service through systemd manager (recommended). 
systemctl start/stop/disable/status

Running the service as a current user. 
By default, the service will run as default user rslconsole. On some distributions, systemd starts the package automatically after the installation. Before running the service as a current user, check the service's status, and if it's running, stop it with

sudo systemctl stop resilio-connect-management-console

and start as a current user with

sudo systemctl --user start resilio-connect-management-console

To uninstall the package, run the command

sudo dpkg --purge resilio-connect-management-console
Options to manage the service through init.d manager (not recommended) 
sudo /etc/init.d/resilio-connect-management-console start
sudo /etc/init.d/resilio-connect-management-console stop

Backup service files before update
