2 Installation in Linux

This section describes installation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components on a machine

running Linux.

By using command-line parameters, you can install the product in the unattended installation mode.

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 distributions where RPM is already installed include Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, and SUSE

Linux Enterprise Server.

You need the AcronisBackupRecoveryServerLinux.i686 installation file. Make sure that the file is

assigned the necessary access permissions to execute it.
