2.1 Preparation
Make sure that the RPM Package Manager (RPM) is installed in your system. Before installing the
product on a Linux distribution that does not use RPM, such as Ubuntu, you need to install RPM
manually; for example, by running the following command as the root user:
apt-get install rpm

Linux Enterprise Server.
You need the AcronisBackupRecoveryServerLinux.i686 installation file. Make sure that the file is
assigned the necessary access permissions to execute it.
