@dustinb3403 said in Installing the agent:
Do you have wget or curl installed, I believe debian comes with both. So either should work.
wget worked for Debian. Ubuntu failed but that is because of root being disabled by default.

@wls-itguy said in Installing the agent:
Not a linux guy by default. Which one do I use for Debian? How about Mac?
You can try any, but the tip-off is the bash vs. sh bit. sh is for BSD that lacks bash. Mac is curl. Pretty much any OS will work with the version that runs on it. If you have wget, the wget version will work. If you have curl, the curl version will work.

Just switch into root. Ubuntu doesn't disable root, they just don't hand out the password.
To get to Ubuntu root from a normal user use sudo -i su

For Mac the installer should work fine, I believe. It's pretty new. For scanning, we are working on getting it to keep reporting. It keeps working, but acts like it isn't. So it collects data, but says that the data is old.

Should the Mac at least check in once?

Yes, it "should".

@wls-itguy looks like you have a problem with your system and insserve. I've seen it recommended to remove it as too many things don't support it.

apt-get remove insservNot sure if I can as I might need it for the EZ Proxy part that is on that server. But I'll see what I can do.

PowerShell doesn't have Invoke-Webrequest? That's a really old cmdlet. I noticed the Debian system having issues is not patched, is this Windows maybe not patched either? We can always get the script another way, but not having PowerShell makes it a little harder.

EZ Proxy is specifically one of the packages not working with it.

Had to restore the debian system from backup. I'll patch it before I try installing the SS agent again.
The Windows box didn't have any updates needed.

Very strange that PS doesn't have that cmdlet when updated.
If PowerShell is too hold for the job, you can use the fallback manual download:
Once downloaded, open the folder it is in, right click and "Run As Admin"

That's not good. Those errors don't appear to be from the install, though, they appear to be from existing packages that can't update.

Yea, that thing is FUBAR'd! Guess I have something else to work on tomorrow

Powershell versions did not update with Windows Update by default in 2008 R2 to my knowledge.

It doesn't. Just read that on the Google. I am updating now.
