h2. Option 1 - Install the Backup Agent Uusing APT
Configure an APT repository on Debian and Ubuntu to install the Backup Agent using apt. This repository also helps to manage upgrades of the Backup Agent in the future. For more information about upgrading the Backup Agent, see [ServerBackup:Upgrade Backup Agent for Linux].

{note:title=Notice}You must be a Linux root user to install the Backup Agent.
{note}
The archive you have extracted contains two folders: one with {{.deb}} packages (in our case, "*deb-linux64*") and one with {{.rpm}} packages ("*rpm-linux64*"). If you are installing on Debian or Ubuntu, choose the folder with {{.deb}} packages.
Each folder contains a set of the Backup Agent components:
...You must install all of the previous folders in one step. Use the {{cd}} command to go to the folder with the packages (in our case, "*deb-linux64*"), and then run the following command:
{code}dpkg -i *.deb{code}

h3. Install Server Backup Linux Device Driver
Server Backup Device Driver is a proprietary, loadable Linux kernel module distributed by R1Soft. It is loadable at run-time without restarting Linux, and you do *not* need to recompile your Linux kernel to use it. R1Soft does not provide pre-built modules for the popular kernels, so you must compile the module from source.
{note:title=Notice}You need to have loadable modules enabled as a feature in your kernel. This is an advanced feature on all popular Linux distributions.

h4. 1. Compiling Server Backup Kernel Module Against Kernel Headers kernel module against kernel headers
You must compile the kernel module using the kernel headers. The program {{serverbackup-setup}} obtains all the information needed to compile a module from your running kernel.
...{code}serverbackup-setup --test-connection{code}

h4. 2. Install kernel sources
h4. 2. Install Kernel Sources
If you are using an unmodified kernel provided by Ubuntu installer, install the kernel-devel package:
{code}apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`{code}
{code}apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`{code}
!apt-get-headers.png|border=1!
{info:title=Note}
In the recent versions of Ubuntu Server the correct version of Linux-headers is probably already installed, so you don't have to install it.

h4. 3. Build Server Backup Kernel Module Online kernel module online (direct Internet connection to R1Soft build server)
To attempt to build the kernel module, run the following command (this may take several minutes):
...{code}serverbackup-setup --get-module{code}
!get-module2.png|border=1!
If module is compiled and installed successfully, the system displays output similar to the following:
...Use '/etc/init.d/cdp-agent restart' to load the new driver{code}
h4. 4. Build the Server Backup kernel module offline (without direct Internet connection to R1Soft build server)
h4. 4. Build the Server Backup Kernel Module Offline (without direct Internet connection to R1Soft build server)
If there is no direct Internet connection between your Server Backup Manager and R1Soft build server, it is still possible to compile the kernel module. In this case:
# Create tarball file with the kernel headers.
# Create tarball file with the kernel headers.
...# From this computer, upload the tarball to the R1Soft build server, and then wait for the compilation to finish.
# When compilation is finished, download binary module, and then copy it back to the Backup Agent machine. Start by executing the following command:
# When compilation is finished, download binary module, and then copy it back to the Backup Agent machine. Start by executing the following command:
{code}serverbackup-setup --no-binary --tarball-only /tmp/kernel-headers.tar.gz{code}
After running this command, the system displays output similar to the following:
{code}Gathering kernel information
Gathering kernel information complete.
