Agents package installation on Linux

Resilio Connect Agent supports installing apt-get and yum package managers, or using deb or rpm packages.

sync.conf

Before installing, retrieve agent's config file from Management Console, name it sync.conf and manually put in to /etc/resilio-agent folder
  • On systemd init systems use systemctl enable/start/stop/disable/status calls to manage the agent service.
  • On sysvinit, upstart systems use service start/stop/restart/status calls.
  • Agent will create "rslagent" user and run with it. New directory "/home/rslagent/Resilio Connect Agent" will be used as default %DOWNLOADS% folder storage path macro. For other Path macros see here. On systemd init system here is also option to launch it as current user, not rslagent, see below.
  • If you need to run agent under different user account, edit service configuration file:
    for sysvinit: /etc/init.d/resilio-agent
    for systemd: /lib/systemd/system/resilio-agent.service
    and fix the user and group related variables
