To install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Agent for Linux

1. Ensure that you have the licenses for Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 and (optionally) Universal Restore and/or Deduplication. You can import the licenses to the Acronis License Server.

   To install the agent in the trial mode, you do not need licenses.

2. Run the appropriate installation file (an .i686 or an .x86_64 file) as the root user.
3. Accept the terms of the license agreement.
4. Specify the license keys in either of these ways or select to install the agent in the trial mode:
   • Type the name or IP address of the license server. If the license server contains licenses for additional features, such as Universal Restore, specify whether you want to install these features.
   • Type your Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 license key. Likewise, you can add license keys for Universal Restore and/or Deduplication.
5. Specify whether you want to register the machine on the management server. You can add the machine to the management server later by using the machine's name or IP address.
6. If you install the software in Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, the setup program may notify you about the absence of some of the required Linux packages. Select Continue to try to install these packages automatically (recommended), or select Skip to skip the package installation. For more detailed information about the required packages, see the "Linux packages" section.
7. The setup program tries to automatically compile the SnapAPI module for your Linux kernel. If it fails to do so, please refer to the file: /usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/HOWTO.INSTALL.

To install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Management Console or Acronis Bootable Media Builder

1. Run the installation file of the management console or bootable media builder (an .i686 or an .x86_64 file) as the root user.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
