1. Download CDP Agent
2. Configure APT Repository
You should also configure an APT repository on Debian and Ubuntu to manage upgrades of CDP Standard Edition, to install the unzip utility, etc.
First, modify your /etc/apt/sources.list to include the R1Soft repository, and then download the R1Soft apt gpg key.
3. Option 1 - Install Agent Using APT
 | Notice You must be a Linux root user to install CDP Agent. |
Once you have configured the APT repository, you can execute the following command to install CDP Agent:
Option 2 - Install Agent Using DPKG
4.1 Make Sure You Can Unzip the Download
Most Linux distributions come with the unzip utility pre-installed. To determine if you have the unzip utility, run:
This should return an output similar to the following:
If it returns the following output, you need to install the unzip utility first:
To install unzip on Debian or Ubuntu:
4.2 Extract the ZIP File
We recommend creating a temporary directory to which you can extract the contents of the ZIP file.
1. Use the mkdir command to create a temporary directory (in our case, cdp-agent).
2. Use the mv command to move the archive to that directory. Note that Linux file names are case sensitive. Make sure you type the name correctly (in our case, "r1soft-enterprise-agent-linux64-3.18.2.zip").
3. Use the cd command to go to that directory.
4. Use the unzip command to extract the files.
4.3 Install the Packages
| Notice You must be a Linux root user to install CDP Agent. |
The archive you have extracted contains two folders: one with .deb packages (in our case, "deb-linux64") and one with .rpm packages ("rpm-linux64"). If you are installing on Debian or Ubuntu, choose the .deb package.
Each folder contains a set of CDP components:
- r1soft-setup
- r1soft-cdp-enterprise-agent
- r1soft-cdp-agent
- r1soft-cdp-async-agent-2-6
You will need to install all of them in one step. Use the cd command to go to the folder with the packages (in our case, "deb-linux64") and run the following command:
DEB 32-bit (x86) / DEB 64-bit (x86_64)
