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.

RedHat, CentOS, or Amazon systems: Use the "Yellowdog Updater, Modified (yum)" tool to update the rpm-redhat repository. For details, seeTo set up and configure a RedHat, CentOS, or Amazon repository.
SuSE systems: Use the Zypper tool to update the rpm-suse repository. For details, see To set up and configure a SUSE repository.
Debian or Ubuntu systems: Use the Advanced Package Tool (APT), apt-get, or Aptitude tools to update the deb repository. For details, seeTo set up and configure a Debian or Ubuntu repository.
Atomic systems: Use curl or wget to update the wget repository. For details, see To access a raw package (WGET) repository.
Alpine Linux systems: For details, see To set up and configure an Alpine Linux 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 Repo site. On that page, click the link to generate the repo key. You will then specify the repo key in a yum (RHEL, SUSE, and so forth) or APT (Debian, Ubuntu, and so forth) 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 SUSE or yum repositories, see the documentation for the distribution of Linux you are using. For additional details about configuring and using APT repositories, see the documentation for the distribution of Debian Linux or Ubuntu you are using.

WARNING: 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.
