Installing Network Agent on a Linux device remotely

Before installing Network Agent on a Linux-based device, you must complete the general preparatory steps that are required to all Linux-based devices.

After completing the general steps, you can follow the additional instructions specific to your operating system:

• Preparing a device running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15
• Preparing a device running Astra Linux in the closed software environment mode
• Preparing a device running Ubuntu Server/Desktop version 10.04 and 16.04

To install Network Agent on Linux devices remotely:

1. Download and create an installation package:
   1. Before installing the package on the device, make sure that it already has all the dependencies (programs and libraries) installed for this package.

      You can view the dependencies for each package on your own, using utilities that are specific for the Linux distribution on which the package is to be installed. For more details about utilities, refer to your operating system documentation.

   2. To create a remote installation package, use the following files:
      • klnagent.kpd
      • akinstall.sh
      • .deb or .rpm package of Network Agent
2. Create a remote installation task with the following settings:
   • On the Settings page of the New task wizard, select the Using operating system resources through Administration Server check box. Clear all other check boxes.
   • On the Selecting an account to run the task page specify the settings of the user account that is used for device connection through SSH.
3. Run the remote installation task. Use the option for the su command to preserve the environment: -m, -p, --preserve-environment.
