Prerequisites

Use our one-step easy installation

To install a Middleware agent on a host, copy the Installation command and paste it into the command prompt. Your command will look like the following example, and it will include your API key.

For DEB (Debian Packages : Compatible for Debian and derivative operating systems)

MW_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TARGET=https://uid.middleware.io:443 bash -c "$(curl -L https://install.middleware.io/scripts/deb-install.sh)"

For RPM (Package supported by RedHat Package Manager, Compatible for systems like RedHat/CentOS etc.)

MW_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TARGET=https:/uid.middleware.io:443 bash -c "$(curl -L https://install.middleware.io/scripts/rpm-install.sh)"
Replace the MW_API_KEY value with your API key or directly copy the full command with the API key from the installation menu.
Replace “uid” with the text in the URL (ex URL is “s05zpimz.middleware.io” , here s05zpimz is uid.)
