Sample Script to Upgrade Horizon Agent on Linux
Desktop Machines
You can customize and use the following sample script to upgrade Horizon Agent on multiple Linux virtual
machines (VMs).
This script uploads the installer tar ball to each VM before installing Horizon Agent. The upload task can
be time-consuming, especially when a large number of VMs is involved and the network speed is slow. To
save time, you can run the script that uses SSH, or put the installer tar ball in a shared location that is
available to each VM so that uploading the file is not necessary.
To copy and paste the script content without page breaks, use the HTML version of this topic, available
from the Horizon 7 documentation page at https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/view_pubs.html.
