How do I Activate Shinobi?

Activate the Shinobi Server Software

Modify the Shinobi Main Configuration file and add the parameter  subscriptionId .

Here is what you would paste in your conf.json on Line 2 of the file.  sub_XXXXXXXXXXX would be replaced with your Subscription ID.

"subscriptionId":"sub_XXXXXXXXXXX",

You can do this from either the Superuser panel or terminal. By default Shinobi is installed at /home/Shinobi and located inside you will find the conf.json file.
