The eG Installation Guide - eG Innovations

Installing and Configuring on Unix
Enter the name of the eG user [egurkha]:
Note:
If the agent is being installed on the same system as the manager, the eG user configured for the
agent should be the same as that used for the manager.
3. Enter the group to which the eG user is to be associated [egurkha]:
Then, enter the group to which the eG user is to be associated with. The default value taken is
“egurkha”. The installation will attempt to create the user account if it does not exist on the
system. If you specify an existing user name, then this group prompt will not appear.
4. Enter the directory in which the eG agent should be installed [/opt]:
Next enter the path to the directory in which the eG agent will reside. The default base directory
for the eG agent is /opt. A subdirectory named egurkha will be created under the base directory. If
the base directory is not /opt, a symbolic link will be created from the egurkha subdirectory of the
base directory to /opt/egurkha.
5. Would you like the eG agent to auto-restart on system boot-up? y/n [n] :
The install process will now request the user to confirm installation of the auto-restart feature.
This feature will enable the agent to start automatically every time the system hosting the agent
reboots. Now, press y to install the auto-restart feature, or n to proceed without installing the
same.
6. If the agent is installed on the same system as the manager some common files need not be
reinstalled.
The following files are already installed on the system and are being
used by another package:
Do you want to install these conflicting files [y,n,?,q] n
7. As in the case of the eG manager, the agent package contains components that need to be
installed with the set-uid permissions set. These components must be installed for the agent to
function properly. Following this step, the eG agent components are extracted and stored.
8. Finally, the following message will be displayed depicting the success of the installation.
