GLPI-AGENT - Linux Perl script

Linux Perl Installer

WARNING

The linux installer main requirement is the perl command. It also requires one of the following command, depending on the targeted system:

• dnf for recent RPM based systems ;
• yum for previous generation of RPM based systems ;
• apt for DEB based systems like Debian & Ubuntu ;
• snap for other systems supporting Snapcraft Snap packages.

We also provide a dedicated linux installer which includes all the packages we build (RPM & DEB) and eventually the snap one. On supported distros (DEB & RPM based), the installer will also eventually try to enable third party repositories, like EPEL on CentOS if they are required.

The installer is a simple perl script. It supports various options to configure the agent during installation. If no options are specified, the default is for the installer to configure glpi-agent to not scan user home directories or profiles, to run inventory modules with a 30 minute timeout, to allow HTTP requests to port 62354 only from the GLPI server, to setup the glpi-agent as a service and to install only the Computer Inventory and Remote Inventory tasks. You can check all supported options by running:

perl glpi-agent-1.8-linux-installer.pl --help

or if you use the installer embedding snap package:

perl glpi-agent-1.8-with-snap-linux-installer.pl --help

If your GNU/Linux distro is not supported, you still can install it from sources.
