Obtaining and Installing Root Lock by HeartSuite

Download and installation steps for Root Lock by HeartSuite.

Overview: Root Lock by HeartSuite installation follows one of two paths depending on your deployment method. Both paths end at the Dashboard, where Phase 1 (System Verification) confirms that the machine is ready for allowlisting.

Cloud Path

Launch a pre-configured cloud instance (e.g., AWS AMI, GCP image). The Root Lock by HeartSuite kernel is already installed and the Dashboard confirms Phase 1 is complete on first boot and appears immediately — skip ahead to the allowlisting queues.

Local Path

Run a single install command, then reboot multiple times to build the initial allowlist of startup and shutdown programs. This path involves:

  1. Obtaining Root Lock by HeartSuite — Run the install command.
  2. Installation Part 1 — Run the installer and reboot to load the kernel.
  3. Installation Part 2 — Complete the System Setup steps to allowlist startup and shutdown programs.

After the final reboot cycle, the Dashboard appears and displays the Suggested Next Step to guide you into Phase 2 (Program Allowlisting).
