Before registering a Linux client to the Unitrends system, you must install a Linux agent. For all supported distributions, you can use GZEXE installers, and in some instances, you might need to install dependencies before installing the agent.
For CentOS, Oracle Linux, and Red Hat clients, you can use RPM-based installers that automatically install all necessary dependencies (releases 7.4 and higher). For Ubuntu clients, you can use dpkg-based installers that install all necessary dependencies (releases 7.4 and higher). See the table Linux distributions and agent installers to determine which installer to use for your Linux client.
You can download the agent installers from the Unitrends Support site. You might not see an agent for the particular Linux distribution that you are using, but if it is a supported distribution listed in the Unitrends Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix, the standard Linux agent will work with your machine. For Oracle Linux clients, use the CentOS or Red Hat agent. To use the 7.4 agent installers, you must upgrade your Unitrends appliance to release 7.4 or higher.
For instructions on installing the Linux agent, see Installing the Linux agent.
