2.2 Installation in Linux
This section describes installation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 components on a machine
running Linux.
By using command-line parameters, you can install the product in the unattended installation mode.
2.2.1 Preparation
RPM Package Manager
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:
sudo apt-get install rpm
Linux distributions where RPM is already installed include Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, and SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server.
Linux packages
The following Linux packages must be installed in the system: gcc, kernel, kernel-headers, and
kernel-devel. The names of these packages may vary depending on the Linux distribution.
To install these packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora, run the following command as
the root user:
yum install -y gcc kernel kernel-headers kernel-devel
In Ubuntu, the necessary packages are normally already installed. We recommend running the
following command before installing Acronis Backup & Recovery 11:
sudo apt-get update
For other Linux distributions, refer to the distribution’s documentation regarding the names of
these packages and the ways to install them.

necessary access permissions:
1. Go to the Acronis Web site.

& Recovery 11.
