Install the Pulse agent

Run this on the workstation that talks to your Open Dental server. Takes about 90 seconds. Your patient data never leaves the box — Pulse only computes aggregates and ships those to the cloud.

          curl -sSL pulse.app/install | bash -s -- --org=amores-dental --token=pls_x9f2k...

Having trouble? Common install issues

"connection refused"

Make sure outbound port 443 is open to agent.pulse.app. Pulse doesn't need any inbound ports.

"open dental data dir not found"

Run the installer on the workstation hosting the Open Dental SQL server. Set PULSE_OD_PATH if non-standard.
