rpm -i vmware-appdirector-agent-service_6.0.0.0-0_ArchitectureName.rpm in the
terminal to install the service, where the ArchitectureName is i386 for 32-bit and x86_64 for 64-
bit.
c For a DEB-based virtual machine, download the agent bootstrap from
http://Application_Director_IP/agent/vmware-appdirector-agent-
service_6.0.0.0-0_ArchitectureName.deb to the folder and enter
dpkg -i vmware-appdirector-agent-service_6.0.0.0-0_ArchitectureName.deb in the
terminal to install the service, where the ArchitectureName is i386 for 32-bit and amd64 for 64-bit.
