Installation in Text Mode
When the system does not support graphic mode, the Linux installation needs to be initiated in the terminal by using
the ./ppbe-linux-x86.sh -c command on 32-bit systems or use ./ppbe-linux-x86_64.sh -c command on 64-bit
systems.
The installation procedure will be initiated as following steps:
 Press Enter to start an installation.
 Accept the license agreement.
 Choose the component. If one single computer is connected to the UPS directly via a USB or serial connection,
Agent should be installed. If the computer is powered by a UPS already connected to an Agent, has a remote
management card installed or is connected to a PDU, Client should be installed. If the administrator requires
simultaneous monitoring and access to multiple UPS/PDU/ATSs, equipment and computers on a local network,
Center should be installed.
If users don’t realize how to choose the correct components, users can assign Use recommendations for
assistance.
Note: Agent and Client cannot be installed on the same computer.
 Select the protected target. If the target computer is powered by a UPS, a PDU or an ATS, the Local
Computer/Virtual Machine/Server option should be set.
If the administrator requires simultaneous management to multiple VMware ESXi host on a local network, the
Multiple VMware ESXi Hosts option should be selected.
If the administrator requires simultaneous monitoring and access to multiple UPS/PDU/ATSs, equipment and
computers on a local network, the Only for Monitoring option should be set.
 Select power devices. Users must select which power device provides the power protection to the target
computer.
