This how to guide assumes that you already have a working Linode Image and you just want to Deploy a New Linode for a jacktrip session. **CONTENTS:** S1. Deploy New Linode with jacktrip installed via the Linode website S2. Login to the new remote Linode Cloud Server via Terminal on your computer S3. Fire up jackd and then jacktrip in Server Mode on your new remote Linode Cloud Server via Terminal on your computer S4. When done with your jacktrip session, Delete your remote Linode Cloud Server via the Linode website **Additional Articles in this section:** [**Linode \[S5\] Terminal Window Remote Server SHORTCUTS**](https://support.jacktrip.com/linode-s5-terminal-window-remote-server-shortcuts?hsLang=en) [**Linode \[S6\] Extra Feature - Run Jacktrip in Server Mode independently**](https://support.jacktrip.com/linode-s6-extra-feature-run-jacktrip-in-server-mode-independently?hsLang=en) **GENERAL TIPS:** 1\. When using Terminal commands, if something doesn’t work as you expected **always recheck what you typed in**, sometimes a little typo can make the difference between failure and success! 2\. When using the Linode website, whenever you perform an action, make sure to wait until the action completes. For example, when you power up your remote Linode Cloud Server, be sure wait until it says RUNNING with a green dot before copying the ssh command and trying to login to your remote Linode Cloud Server. 3\. **Before you logout of your Linode website user account**, make sure to always **DELETE** your remote Linode Cloud Server **otherwise you will continue to get charged** for it even if it’s listed as being OFFLINE. 4\. As of this writing, **there is a monthly charge of $0.10/GB** to store Images for Linode users. Limits per user account are: 6GB per Image, 150 GB maximum combined size of all images, up to 25 images.   **Start a remote Linode Cloud Server for a jacktrip session using an Existing Image** If you aren’t already logged into the Linode website via the Google Chrome web browser, then do so before starting the following set of instructions. **S1.

Fire up jackd and then jacktrip in Server Mode on your new remote Linode Cloud Server via Terminal on your computer**   Type in the Terminal commands below (shown in boldface) and hit the **\** key. a. Go to the builddir directory: **cd** then **cd jacktrip** then **cd builddir** b. Start jack in server mode: in this example, buffer of 512 frames/period, sample rate of 48k, &=run command in background **jackd -d dummy -p512 -r48000 &** c. Start jacktrip(2) in server mode: here is an example of a command Sarah Weaver has used with the NowNet ensembles \[**-S** = run in Hub Server Mode, **-p2** = client out/in but no loopback\] **./jacktrip -S -p2 -q32 -z**   d. Connect in jacktrip to your remote Linode Cloud Server as you normally would do. To do this, you will need the **ip-address** for your remote Linode Cloud Server. You can find it on the Linode website back on the Linodes page for your remote Linode Cloud Server: ![09-Linode \[2\]- Deploy Server Image for JackTrip session](https://support.jacktrip.com/hs-fs/hubfs/09-Linode%20%5B2%5D-%20Deploy%20Server%20Image%20for%20JackTrip%20session.png?width=688&height=312&name=09-Linode%20%5B2%5D-%20Deploy%20Server%20Image%20for%20JackTrip%20session.png)   e. Once you are done with your jacktrip session, you can close/quit out of Terminal, it won’t hurt anything. Then go on to the next section **S4**. **Footnote:** (2)  to see all the jacktrip command options, type **./jacktrip -h**       or go to: [https://manpages.debian.org/testing/jacktrip/jacktrip.1.en.html](https://manpages.debian.org/testing/jacktrip/jacktrip.1.en.html)   **S4.

To double check that the remote Linode Cloud Server you wanted to delete was deleted: ![14-Linode \[2\]- Deploy Server Image for JackTrip session](https://support.jacktrip.com/hs-fs/hubfs/14-Linode%20%5B2%5D-%20Deploy%20Server%20Image%20for%20JackTrip%20session.png?width=688&height=251&name=14-Linode%20%5B2%5D-%20Deploy%20Server%20Image%20for%20JackTrip%20session.png) Check the list of **Events** to see that the remote Linode Cloud Server you wanted to delete was deleted: ![15-Linode \[2\]- Deploy Server Image for JackTrip session](https://support.jacktrip.com/hs-fs/hubfs/15-Linode%20%5B2%5D-%20Deploy%20Server%20Image%20for%20JackTrip%20session.png?width=688&height=176&name=15-Linode%20%5B2%5D-%20Deploy%20Server%20Image%20for%20JackTrip%20session.png)   You can now logout of the Linode website.
