Installing Veeam Agent for Linux with Kernel Module in Offline Mode
IMPORTANT |
Starting from Veeam Agent for Linux version 6.1, for size optimization purposes, Veeam Agent for Linux installation packaging has been reconfigured and now includes the additional veeam-libs package that must be installed before the veeam package. |
To install Veeam Agent for Linux, do the following:
- On a computer that is connected to the internet, download Veeam Agent packages intended for your Linux distribution from the Veeam software repository.
- Veeam Agent for Linux packages in the Debian format reside in the following folders of the Veeam software repository:
- [For Veeam Agent for Linux version 6.1] /backup/linux/agent/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/b/blksnap-dkms/
- [For Veeam Agent for Linux version 6.0] /backup/linux/agent/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/b/blksnap/
- /backup/linux/agent/dpkg/debian/public/pool/veeam/v/veeamsnap/
- For RPM packages, the Veeam Agent directory has the following structure: Package format > Distribution > Version > Architecture.
For example, Veeam Agent packages for 64-bit RHEL 9 reside in the /rpm/el/9/x86_64/ folder of the Veeam software repository, and packages for 64-bit SLES 15 SP5 reside in the /rpm/sles/SLE_15_SP5/x86_64/ folder.
- Save Veeam Agent packages to a directory that can be accessed from the computer where you want to install the product, for example, a directory on a local drive or USB drive, or a network shared folder.
- On the computer where you want to install Veeam Agent, navigate to the directory where you have saved the packages and install Veeam Agent:
- Installing Veeam Agent for Linux in CentOS 7 / RHEL
- Installing Veeam Agent for Linux in Oracle Linux
- Installing Veeam Agent for Linux in Fedora
- Installing Veeam Agent for Linux in SLES
- Installing Veeam Agent for Linux in openSUSE
- Installing Veeam Agent for Linux in Debian / Ubuntu

You can also set up a local mirror of the Veeam software repository in your internal network and add this repository to the list of software sources on a computer where you want to install the product. These operations may differ depending on the Linux distribution and package manager that you use. To learn more, refer to the documentation of your Linux distribution. After you add a local repository to the list of software sources on a computer, you will be able to install and upgrade Veeam Agent in a regular way.
