About Linux agent dependencies

When using GZEXE installers to install the Linux agent, you might need to install additional libraries. (To determine which installer to use, see Linux agent versions.) If this is the case, the installer stops the installation and lists the required dependencies. The dependencies it lists are the resources needed and not the name of the package you must install. The table below identifies the packages containing the commonly needed dependencies.

Dependencies by operating system

In version 8.0 and later, the following dependencies are required to protect Red Hat Linux environments. These dependencies replace XINETD, which was a dependency for earlier versions.

Needed dependencies for Oracle

Samba is only used to protect Oracle with application backups. Therefore, in version 8.0 and later it is no longer considered a dependency. The Samba packages listed below only need to be installed if you wish to protect Oracle data. You can download them from the Latest Agent Releases page on the Unitrends website. You can also access them from the installation media..
