# On-Device Installer
Allows to run AfterTouch on SoundTouch devices directly, eliminating the need to run and maintain a separate server on the local network.
## Disclaimer
### Invasiveness
AfterTouch usually normally migrates the SoundTouch devices very noninvasive, by changing the configuration of the device. Running AfterTouch on the device itself is slightly more invasive, because it needs to create a script that starts AfterTouch on boot.
### AfterTouch Availability
Some devices will expose the AfterTouch port, some won't. We currently suspect that the newer generation devices (those with Bluetooth) will expose the port, while the older ones won't. We're still investigating how to expose AfterTouch on all devices.
If your device doesn't expose the port, you can still use the on-device installer, but you'll need to run AfterTouch on each one of your speakers individually and may only access AfterTouch via ssh port forwarding. This will also make OAuth authentication a little more tricky, but should also work via SSH port forwarding.
## Installation
Enable SSH on your SoundTouch device using the usual "Stick with remote_services" method. Connect with the following command.
```bash
ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa root@<IP_ADDRESS_OF_SPEAKER>
```
Then, run the following command to install AfterTouch on the device.
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gesellix/Bose-SoundTouch/main/scripts/on-device-install/install.sh | sh
```
After the installation check if you can access AfterTouch from your local device by navigating to `http://<IP_ADDRESS_OF_SPEAKER>:8000`. If you can access the AfterTouch UI, you're good to go! If not, you may need to run AfterTouch on the speaker via SSH port forwarding.
```bash
ssh -L 8000:localhost:8000 root@<IP_ADDRESS_OF_SPEAKER>
```
## Updating AfterTouch
To update AfterTouch, simply run the installation command again. The installer will check if there's a new version available and update it if necessary.
## Uninstallation
To uninstall AfterTouch, run the following command on the speaker.
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gesellix/Bose-SoundTouch/main/scripts/on-device-install/uninstall.sh | sh
```
