Introduction
OCS Inventory has now his own repository for Debian based and Redhat based distributions. You will find below how to install OCS Inventory agent unix using our repository
Installing UNIX Agent with APT
On Debian-based distributions you can install the agent with APT
You need to add our repository using the following command
$ curl -sS http://deb.ocsinventory-ng.org/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb http://deb.ocsinventory-ng.org/debian/ <distribution_codename> main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ocsinventory.list
$ sudo apt update
You will have to replace
- bullseye | stable
- buster | oldstable
- stretch | oldoldstable
- sid | unstable
Then install the agent using :
$ sudo apt install ocsinventory-agent
On Ubuntu-based distributions you can install the agent with APT
You need to add our repository using the following commands :
$ curl -sS http://deb.ocsinventory-ng.org/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Note : apt-key is now deprecated as of Ubuntu 22.04, and will issue a warning. We recommend using the below gpg alternative :
$ curl -fsSL http://deb.ocsinventory-ng.org/pubkey.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ocs-archive-keyring.gpg
Then :
$ echo "deb http://deb.ocsinventory-ng.org/ubuntu/ <distribution_codename> main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ocsinventory.list
$ sudo apt update
You will have to replace
- jammy | stable
- focal | oldstable
