Each supported Linux distribution has a number of versions listed in a separate table. The most recent versions for each distribution are displayed at the top of the list. Find the table where your distribution is located.
| Note There are many different installers of the Agent, each for its own distribution of Linux. It is recommended to download the Agent for your distribution if one exists. If you are using an unsupported distribution or have customized the Kernel of a supported distribution, you will need to run the Righteous Custom Kernel Installer (you will be asked to run it during the Agent installation). |
