Installation from NGINX repository

Overview

Learn how to install NGINX Agent from the NGINX Open Source repository.

Prerequisites

Configure NGINX OSS Repository for installing NGINX Agent

Before you install NGINX Agent for the first time on your system, you need to set up the nginx-agent packages repository. Afterward, you can install and update NGINX Agent from the repository.

  1. Install the prerequisites:

    sudo yum install yum-utils

  2. To set up the yum repository, create a file with name /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx-agent.repo with the following contents:

    ini
    [nginx-agent] name=nginx agent repo baseurl=http://packages.nginx.org/nginx-agent/centos/$releasever/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key module_hotfixes=true

  3. To install nginx-agent, run the following command:

    sudo yum install nginx-agent

    To install nginx-agent with a specific version (for example, 2.42.0):

    sudo yum install -y nginx-agent-2.42.0

    When prompted to accept the GPG key, verify that the fingerprint matches 8540 A6F1 8833 A80E 9C16 53A4 2FD2 1310 B49F 6B46, 573B FD6B 3D8F BC64 1079 A6AB ABF5 BD82 7BD9 BF62, 9E9B E90E ACBC DE69 FE9B 204C BCDC D8A3 8D88 A2B3, and if so, accept it.

    sudo nginx-agent -v

Installing NGINX Agent on Ubuntu

Expand instructions

  1. Install the prerequisites:

    sudo apt install curl gnupg2 ca-certificates lsb-release ubuntu-keyring

  2. Import an official nginx signing key so apt can verify the packages authenticity. Fetch the key:

    shell
