How To Install The Deployment Agent For Linux (Adlagent)
Article: 179
Applies to: All releases
A method to install the Deployment Agent for Linux (adlagent) onto a target
server already running a Linux production operating system is to manually
copy the appropriate adlagent .bin file to the target server and then run
that .bin file.
Another method to manually install adlagent without copying the file to the target server is
| 1. |
On the Deployment Server, create a user account.
|
| 2. |
Log into the target server using a user account that has rights to create directories,
mount sharepoints and run binaries.
|
| 3. |
Create a mount point directory. For example, mkdir /mnt/ds.
|
| 4. |
Mount the Deployment Server eXpress share.
For example, mount -o username=name //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/eXpress /mnt/ds
where name is the Deployment Server user account created in step 1 and
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address or domain name of the Deployment server.
NOTE: Other mount options may be required depending on the Deployment Server setup. For example,
if a Windows domain is setup, -o workgroup=domain may be required where
domain is the Windows domain. For additional help with mount options, refer to the
Linux man pages for the mount command.

| 5. |
When requested, enter the correct user password.
|
| 6. |
Install adlagent by running the .bin file from the eXpress share
/mnt/ds/Agents/ADLagent/altiris-adlagent-y.y-y.z.bin
where y.y-y is the adlagent version number and
z is the architecture type.
