Linux: Plugin Installation on SLES based distributions

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that your system is prepared with the necessary tools and permissions. You’ll need sudo privileges to execute installation commands. If you have not already, see how to import a repository key in the first steps.

Steps

You’ll need sudo privileges to execute installation commands.

Run the following script to update your repository file:

SLES_VER=sles$(rpm -q sles-release | sed -E 's/.*release-([0-9]+\.[0-9]+)-.*/\1/' | tr -d '.')
echo -e "[bacula-enterprise-@@plugin-name@@]\nname=Bacula Enterprise @@plugin-name@@\nbaseurl=https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/@@customer-id@@/rpms/@@plugin-name@@/@@bee-version@@/$SLES_VER-64\nenabled=1\nautorefresh=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/@@customer-id@@/BaculaSystems-Public-Signature-08-2017.asc\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/zypp/repos.d/bacula-enterprise.repo > /dev/null

Replace @@customer-id@@, @@bee-version@@, and @@plugin-name@@ with the name of the plugin you wish to install.

Then update the package cache and install the plugin using zypper:

sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install @@bacula-enterprise-package-id@@

Be sure to replace @@bacula-enterprise-package-id@@ with the package name. See the full list here.

Manual installation of the packages, can be done after downloading the package files from the Bacula Systems provided download area, and then using the package manager to install.
