Following the docs here: [Installing Ignition on Linux - Ignition User Manual 7.8 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC/Installing+Ignition+on+Linux)  
But unable to retrieve the public key: [http://archive.inductiveautomation.com/ia.public.key](http://archive.inductiveautomation.com/ia.public.key)

Did I miss something? That site / file isn’t even reachable!

Huh, I’ll try to ping somebody who might know what happened to the key.

Maybe for now don’t use the deb installation method. We stopped doing that in later versions anyway.

I honestly didn’t even realize those docs were from an older version! Found the ones for 8.1 - thanks!

Not even remotely related question, but… installing headless on a VM… anyway to bypass the registration screen so I can get the install file directly? I’m having to download locally, then push to the remote VM. Download is fine… but my upload speed is horrible!

Something like this: [Downloading Ignition on a Headless Server - #2 by Kevin.Herron](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/downloading-ignition-on-a-headless-server/20508/2)

Or if you’re talking about doing a headless installation [look here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Command+Line+Installations).
