I was trying to install the Particle software on my RasPi 3b with  
`bash &lt;( curl -sL https://particle.io/install-pi )`  
and even  
`sudo particle-agent setup`  
after that, but when trying to login to the Particle Cloud it repeats coming up with the same error:  
`Particle cloud error. mfa_required`  
and i can’t make sense of all the answers when i google that.

Which makes me ask: Is there any chance to install it over a terminal session? And if so: how?

TIA

mfa\_required means you have Particle cloud set for two-factor authentication. I don’t use the Particle cloud personally, so I’m not sure how two-factor works on the command line, but that hopefully should give you a place to start searching in the forum. You could also temporarily disable two-factor and give that a shot.
