Select Select Acronis License Server, and then type the name or IP address of the license
server.

Select Enter the license key, and then type your Acronis Backup Advanced license key.

5. Specify whether you want to register the machine on the management server. You can add the

machine to the management server later by using the machine's name or IP address.

6. If you install the software in Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, the setup program may notify

you about the absence of some of the required Linux packages. Select Continue to try to install
these packages automatically (recommended), or select Skip to skip the package installation. For
more detailed information about the required packages, see the "Linux packages" (p. 38) section.

7. The setup program tries to automatically compile the SnapAPI module for your Linux kernel. If it

fails to do so, please refer to the file: /usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/HOWTO.INSTALL.

To install Acronis Backup Management Console or Acronis Bootable Media Builder

1. Run the installation file of the management console or bootable media builder (an .i686 or

an .x86_64 file) as the root user.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

2.2.3 Installation in the unattended mode

To install a component in the unattended mode (without asking for confirmations), run the
component’s installation file with the -a command-line parameter. You may need to use other
parameters (p. 42) to specify how to perform the installation.

The following are two examples of unattended installation. These examples assume that you are
using a 32-bit installation file (.i686). The same parameters work with a 64-bit installation file
(.x86_64).

Example 1: Unattended installation with a license key.

The following command installs Acronis Backup in the unattended mode and uses the license key
12345-67890-ABCDE:

./AcronisBackupL.i686 -a -l 12345-67890-ABCDE

You can use the same parameters to install Agent for Linux from the corresponding Acronis Backup
Advanced installation file.

Example 2: Unattended installation with a license server.

This example applies only to Acronis Backup Advanced.

The following command:

Installs Agent for Linux in the unattended mode.

Uses an Acronis Backup Advanced for Linux Server license; the license key is stored on the
Acronis License Server that is located on the machine licensesrv.

Once the installation is complete, registers the machine on the management server located on
the machine managementsrv.

./AcronisBackupAdvancedAgentL.i686 -a -L licensesrv -P ABR11.5_ASL -C managementsrv
-g srvadmin -w PassWd123
