Ubuntu Agent

Step 1: System Requirements

NOTE: Prefer Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. We configure as a service using systemd and it's not in 14.04. More here on configuring as a service

Read here to ensure system packages are installed

Download the agent from github releases

16.04

~/$ mkdir myagent && cd myagent
~/myagent$ tar xzf ~/Downloads/vsts-agent-ubuntu.16.04-x64-2.103.1.tar.gz

14.04

~/$ mkdir myagent && cd myagent
~/myagent$ tar xzf ~/Downloads/vsts-agent-ubuntu.14.04-x64-2.103.1.tar.gz

~/myagent$ ./config.sh

You can run the agent interactively or as a SystemD service.

~/myagent$ ./run.sh
