2.2.2 Interactive installation in advanced editions

To install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Agent for Linux

1. Ensure that you have the licenses for Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 and (optionally) Universal

Restore and/or Deduplication. You can import the licenses to the Acronis License Server.

To install the agent in the trial mode (p. 4), you do not need licenses.

2. Run the appropriate installation file (an .i686 or an .x86_64 file) as the root user.

3. Accept the terms of the license agreement.

4. Specify the license keys in either of these ways or select to install the agent in the trial mode:

 Type the name or IP address of the license server. If the license server contains licenses for

additional features, such as Universal Restore, specify whether you want to install these

features.

 Type your Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 license key. Likewise, you can add license keys for

Universal Restore and/or Deduplication.

5. Specify whether you want to register the machine on the management server. You can add the

machine to the management server later by using the machine's name or IP address.

6. If you install the software in Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, the setup program may notify

you about the absence of some of the required Linux packages. Select Continue to try to install

these packages automatically (recommended), or select Skip to skip the package installation. For

more detailed information about the required packages, see the "Linux packages" (p. 40) section.

7. The setup program tries to automatically compile the SnapAPI module for your Linux kernel. If it

fails to do so, please refer to the file: /usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/HOWTO.INSTALL.

To install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Management Console or Acronis Bootable Media

Builder

1. Run the installation file of the management console or bootable media builder (an .i686 or

an .x86_64 file) as the root user.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

2.2.3 Installation in the unattended mode

To install a component in the unattended mode (without asking for confirmations), run the

component’s installation file with the -a command-line parameter. You may need to use other

parameters (p. 44) to specify how to perform the installation.
