Installing Backup Agent on CentOS, RHE and Fedora

1. Installing Agent Using YUM

1.1 Configure YUM Repository

YUM is the easiest way to keep programs up-to-date on RedHat-compatible distributions. It downloads and installs the latest version of a program. You should configure the YUM repository to manage install and upgrades of CDP Agent.

First, create a YUM .repo file with the R1Soft repository information. Save the file in the yum.repos.d directory which is typically located in /etc/.

1. Open the new file with a text editor such as vim or nano:

 # cd /etc/yum.repos.d

# vim r1soft.repo

2. Insert the following text into the file and save the file:

 [r1soft]
name=R1Soft Repository Server
baseurl=http://repo.r1soft.com/yum/stable/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

1.2 Install the Package

Once you have configured the YUM repository, you can use the following command to install CDP Agent:

# yum install r1soft-cdp-enterprise-agent
