Installing the Aurora Protect Desktop agent for Linux

The agent can be installed directly on each system or through system management software, such as Ansible, SCCM, or cloud-init. When installing the agent, installation parameters are provided to configure some installation settings.

Ensure the target devices meet system requirements and that you have the proper permissions for installing software.

After installing the Aurora Protect Desktop agent on Linux devices, make sure to keep the Linux drivers updated to support the latest kernels on the systems. Updated driver packages are released regularly and independently from the agent releases. For more information, see Updating the Linux driver.
