Install Packages

Post by Cubert »

The Install Package view allows you to manually install any package available to the agent or agents.

Quickly deploy software to a client, a location, or agent(s) with a single click. Just select the targets and provide a package name. If the package resides on the repositories for the agent, then the package will be installed on agent(s).
Many packages are common across all OS types. Packages like CURL, WGET are common command line packages that can be deployed using any package manager (Chocolatey, Apt-get, YUM, Homebrew). Some packages may require a desktop enabled operating system like Windows, Ubuntu or Mac OSX. Google Chrome and Firefox are examples of available packages for all OS types but require a desktop enabled version of the OS to work correctly. If you install Firefox to a base CentOS system, without a desktop enabled Firefox is unusable.

Example Usage Scenario: You have onboarded a new client, you have several scripts that you run that use cURL to retrieve files from the Internet and want to pre deploy the cURL package to all agents under client, so these scripts work when assigned to agents.
Using Install Package, deploy cURL across the entire client and all OS types with just one click.
