  2. Run the installer on the target machine.

Installing in Linux

  1. Download the Linux IBM Cloud Monitoring Agent installer. Download
  2. Unzip it on the target machine. tar –vxf baremetal-monitoring-agent-linux-amd64.tgz
  3. Run the linux_install.sh script.

Installing in FreeBSD

Next steps

After you run the installation, the system automatically completes the process. In Windows, a message appears with a confirmation of a successful install or with information about any errors that occurred.
