Using Installation Script

JMS Fleets provides an installation script to configure managed instances in a fleet using a single command.

Prerequisites:

Download the agent software and installation script as described in Download Management Agent Software and Installing Management Agent sections.
Note

The agent software is not required for setting up JMS on OCI Linux instances.
See System Requirements page for a list of supported platforms for the installation script.
Ensure that the installation script is executed with appropriate privileges and permissions for your operating system:
- On Linux, run with sudo or administrative access.
- On Windows, run Powershell with administrator privileges.
- On macOS, run with sudo, or administrative access and grant Full Disk Access permission.

Installation Script Details

The script does the following functions:

Provide Diagnostic Summary with essential information such as agent type, processes, permissions, files, settings, logs, and so on. See Running Agent Installation Diagnostics for detailed information.
Install the Management Agent software.
Register the instance to the fleet from which the installer was obtained.
Deploy JMS plug-in.

Note

On OCI Linux instances within the same tenancy and region as the fleet from which the installer was obtained, the installation process will configure an Oracle Cloud Agent.
The recommended approach for onboarding OCI Linux instances to the fleet is using the fleet's Add Managed Instance(s) action in the Managed Instances view. See instructions in the OCI Linux section in the Manual Method for Installing Management Agent and Deploying JMS Plug-in.

The installation script may also install the following Oracle applications and third-party tools; if they are not already present on the host:

Oracle applications:

Third-party tools:

curl: a command-line tool and library used for transferring data with URLs.
jq: a command-line JSON processor used to map and transform structured data.
unzip: utility used to extract files from a zipped single file or similar file archive. This is used only on Ubuntu platform.
snap: a software packaging and deployment system used embed applications on Linux devices. This is used only on Ubuntu platform.
