Components for remote installation

The components for remote installation are installed by default when you install the management server.

Depending on the operating system of the machine on which the management server runs, you can find these components in the following locations:

  • Windows: %Program Files%\Acronis\RemoteInstallationFiles\installation_files
  • Linux: /usr/lib/Acronis/RemoteInstallationFiles/installation_files

These locations might not be available if you upgraded from an older version of Acronis Cyber Protect or if you explicitly excluded Components for Remote installation when you installed the management server. In this case, you need to add the components for remote installation manually, by updating and modifying your existing installation of Acronis Cyber Protect.

To add the components for remote installation to an existing installation

  1. Download the latest installation file for Acronis Cyber Protect from the Acronis website.

    Select the installation file that corresponds to the bitness of your operating system. In most cases, you will need the Windows 64-bit installation file. For more information about remotely installing or updating a protection agent on a 32-bit machine, see this knowledge base article.

  2. On the machine on which Management Server runs, start the installation file, and then select Update.
  3. After the update completes, start the installation file again, and then select Modify the current installation.
  4. Select Components for Remote installation, and then click Done.

After the installation completes, you will be able to install protection agents on remote machines from the Cyber Protect console.
