To add the Acronis Backup modules to Linux kernel, setup program needs the following Linux packages:

• The package with kernel headers or sources. The package version must match the kernel version.
• The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) compiler system. The GCC version must be the one with which the kernel was compiled.
• The Make tool.
• The Perl interpreter.
• The libelf-dev, libelf-devel, or elfutils-libelf-devel libraries for building kernels starting with 4.15 and configured with CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y. For some distributions, such as Fedora 28, they need to be installed separately from kernel headers.

Are the required packages already installed?

1. Run the following command to find out the kernel version and the required GCC version:
   cat /proc/version
2. Run the following command to check whether the Make tool and the GCC compiler are installed:
   make -v
   gcc –v
   Compare the version of gcc with information from cat /proc/version command
3. Check whether the appropriate version of the packages for building kernel modules is installed:
   In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Fedora, run the following command:
   yum list installed | grep kernel-devel
   
   In Ubuntu, run the following commands:
   dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-headers
   dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image
   
   In either case, ensure that the package versions are the same as in Linux version in step 1.

The following table lists how to install the required packages in various Linux distributions.

Linux distribution	Package names	How to install
Red Hat Enterprise Linux	kernel-devel gcc make	The setup program will download and install the packages automatically by using your Red Hat subscription.
CentOS	kernel-devel gcc make	The setup program will download and install the packages automatically.
Fedora	kernel-devel gcc make	Run the following commands as the root user (specify the required GCC version in the GCC package name): yum install kernel- devel-` uname -r` yum install gcc-4.5.1 yum install make
Ubuntu	linux -headers  linux -image  gcc make	Run the following commands (specify the required GCC version in the GCC package name): sudo apt-get update  sudo apt-get installlinux -headers-`uname -r`  sudo apt-get installlinux -image-`uname -r`  sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6  sudo apt-get install make

 

Linux Agent installation prerequisites

• sudo yum install rpm (Red Hat based distributions)
• sudo apt-get install rpm (Debian based distributions)
• sudo zypper install rpm (Suse based distributions)
• sudo yast install rpm (Suse based distributions)
