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 some of the more commonly needed dependencies.
