    Install and configure an SSH server¶

    Many Linux distributions only install the ssh client by default. If you don’t have the ssh server installed already, the easiest way of doing it is by using your distribution’s packaging system:

    Using apt, run the following:

    $ sudo apt install openssh-server
    

    Using Red Hat Linux or a derivative, use the following:

    $ sudo yum install openssh-server
    

    Review your distribution’s documentation on how to configure the server.
