To install the agent with this procedure, you must have installed the GDebi package on your Ubuntu clients. Installation of the agent using GDebi requires only one command. To install the agent using core utilities, see To install the Linux agent for Ubuntu clients using core utilities.
Note: This procedure is used to install the 7.4 agent. To use the 7.4 agent, you must upgrade your appliance to release 7.4 or higher.
1 Download the appropriate dpkg-based agent installer to the Ubuntu machine you want to protect. (Go to the Unitrends Support site to download the installer.)
2 Open a terminal and change directories to the location where you saved the agent installer.
3 Perform one of the following depending on whether you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit installer:
• To install the 32-bit agent, run the following command:
sudo gdebi unitrends-linux-agent-<release>-<build_date>.i386.deb
• To install the 64-bit agent, run the following command:
sudo gdebi unitrends-linux-agent-<release>-<build_date>.amd64.deb
