Enabling Package Repositories

You can also download and install agents using Linux package management software for your operating system. To do this, you set up a repository for your operating system and then use the software's command line tools to manage automatic agent updates.

Alpine Linux systems: For details, see Installing with an Alpine Linux Repository
Container OS systems: Use curl or wget to update a raw package repository. For details, see Installing on Container OS from a Raw Package Repository
Debian or Ubuntu systems: Use the apt, apt-get, or aptitude tools to update a Debian repository. For details, see Installing with a Debian or Ubuntu Repository
RedHat, CentOS, or Amazon systems: Use the yum tool to update a rpm-redhat repository. For details, see Installing with a RedHat, CentOS, or Amazon Container.
SuSE systems: Use the zypper tool to update an rpm-suse repository. For details, see Installing with a SUSE Repository

You must perform one of the above procedures to enable the repository.

The procedures in this section require that you log in to the Delinea Support Portal and go to the Delinea repository site. On that page, click the link to generate the repository key. You will then specify the repository key in a configuration file. There are some examples on the Delinea repo site about how to add the key to your configuration file.

For additional details about configuring and using YUM repositories, see the documentation for the distribution of RHEL or SUSE Linux you are using. For additional details about configuring and using APT repositories, see the documentation for the distribution of Debian or Ubuntu Linux you are using.

Before you install the agent, run the adcheck utility to make sure that your environment is ready.

If you specify your repository on the command line, be sure to clean out your command history afterwards. Because the URL for your repository includes the credentials to access it, leaving this information around in command history is not a secure practice.
