Run the Agent Installer on Multiple Hosts

You can download the Agent Installer once and run on multiple hosts. To install the agent bundle across multiple hosts, distribute the binaries to all applicable machines. For example, these steps show how to move files across hosts using the tar command.

  1. Download the agent bundle.

  2. Distribute the Agent Installer to multiple hosts.
    1. Make sure you are in the same directory in which you downloaded the agent bundle.
    2. Use the tar command to place the script in a single file:
      tar cvf zero-agent.tar *
    3. Copy the file to multiple hosts:
      scp zero-agent.tar <target host>:<directory>
    4. Extract the archived script in the same directory:
      tar xvf zero-agent.tar
  3. Complete the Agent Installer deployment using the custom installation method.
