Installing the Rapid Recovery Agent software on Debian or Ubuntu

The Rapid Recovery Agent .deb file is an archive containing repository information specific to the apt package manager. Complete the following steps to install the Rapid Recovery Agent on Debian or Ubuntu machines for an online installation.

  1. Open a terminal session with root access.
  2. Determine your present working directory by entering PWD and pressing Enter. For example, assume your directory is /home/rapidrecovery/.
  3. Download the appropriate Rapid Recovery Agent .deb installation file from the License Portal at https://licenseportal.com to your present working directory.

    For more information about the license portal, see the Dell Data Protection | Rapid Recovery License Portal User Guide .

  4. To establish a persistent connection between your Linux machine and the remote Dell repository in which Rapid Recovery software and components are stored, type the following command: 
    		dpkg -i <.deb installation file you downloaded>

    For example, if the installer file is named rapidrecovery-repo-6.0.2.999.deb in the directory /home/rapidrecovery/, type the following command, and then press Enter: 

    		dpkg -i rapidrecovery-repo-6.0.2.999.deb

    Any missing packages or files required by the Agent will be downloaded from the remote repository and installed automatically as part of the script.

    • NOTE: For more information on dependencies for installing on a Linux machine, see Agent dependencies.
  5. Install the Rapid Recovery Agent by invoking the apt package manager, updating the repository manager. Type the following command, and then press Enter: 
    		apt-get update
  6. Instruct the package manager to install the Rapid Recovery Agent software. Type the following command, and then press Enter: 
    		apt-get install rapidrecovery-agent
  7. The package manager prepares to install all dependent files. If prompted to confirm installation of unsigned files, enter y and then press Enter.

    The Rapid Recovery Agent files are installed.
