We assume that you have a server running Linux CDP Enterprise Edition 3.18.1 or an earlier version and that you used the automatic method to install the server so that the CDP packages repository is already added to the configuration. You can read about how to configure the CDP packages repository in [this document|Installing Agent on Linux].
