How do I set up eduroam on Linux?

 

Instructions are for Ubuntu 18.04.1

  1. Download the CAT installer for “Royal Holloway and Bedford New College” from cat.eduroam.org. This will download a python script and this may not run on its own.
  2. Open up a terminal window and locate where python is installed. This can be done by running the command ‘whereis python’
  3. Browse to where python is installed and run python[version]/home/[user]/Downloads/[downloaded installer file] (i.e. python3 /home/Tom/Downloads/Eduroam-linux-RHUL_-_EDUROAM.py)
  4. You will be prompted for a username and password.
  5. In the username field you should enter your University username (four letters and three numbers, e.g. abcd123) with the suffix ‘@rhul.ac.uk’. Your password is the password you use for all other University services.
  6. Join the Eduroam wireless network
