Installing the Linux agent for Ubuntu clients

For Ubuntu clients, you can use dpkg-based installers that often automatically install all necessary dependencies if connected to a remote repository. You can choose to install the agent using core utilities or the GDebi tool. If you install using core utilities, you must run two commands if the necessary dependencies have not been installed on your Ubuntu machine. If you use the GDebi tool, one command installs the agent and all necessary dependencies.

Note: The dpkg-based installers are used to install the 7.4 agent. To use the 7.4 agent, you must upgrade your appliance to release 7.4 or higher.
