# Installing the Agent on a Linux Server

#### Scenarios

This topic describes how to manually install the Agent on a Linux ECS or BMS.

#### Prerequisites

- You have the read and write permissions for the installation directories in Procedure. The Telescope process will not be stopped by other software after the installation.
- You have performed operations described in Modifying the DNS Server Address and Adding Security Group Rules (Linux).

#### Procedure

1. Log in to the ECS or BMS as user root.
2. Run the following command to install the Agent:

   EU DE:

       cd /usr/local && wget https://telescope-eu-de.obs.eu-de.otctest.t-systems.com/scripts/agentInstall.sh && chmod 755 agentInstall.sh && ./agentInstall.sh

   The Agent is installed if the following command output is displayed.

3. Configure the Agent by referring to Restoring the Agent Configurations on a Linux Server or (Optional) Manually Configuring the Agent (Linux).
   - Restoring Agent Configurations allows you to configure AK/SK, RegionID, and ProjectId in just a few clicks. You can also modify related configuration files by referring to (Optional) Manually Configuring the Agent (Linux).
   - Agent configuration restoration cannot be performed on BMSs. For details about how to modify the Agent configuration file on a BMS, see (Optional) Manually Configuring the Agent (Linux).
4. Run the following command to clear the installation script:

   if [[ -f /usr/local/uniagent/extension/install/telescope/bin/telescope ]]; then rm /usr/local/agent_install.sh; else rm /usr/local/agentInstall.sh; fi
