# Using Trellix Agent 5.8.x using installation package

You can manually install Trellix Agent 5.8.x on Linux systems by creating an Agent installation package from the ePO - On-prem console. If you want the endpoint users (with local administrator rights) to install Trellix Agent on their own systems, distribute the installation package file to them through email or shared network.

1. On the ePO - On-prem console, select Menu → Systems → System Tree .
2. Obtain the Trellix Agent installation file by executing one of the following:

  - Creating an installation package:

    1. Click **New Systems**.
    2. Select **Create and download agent installation package**.
    3. Select the appropriate Trellix Agent version for Linux from the list.
    4. Click **OK**. The **agentPackages.zip** installation package containing `install.sh` file is created.
    5. Save the file.
  - Copy the `install.sh` file directly from ePO - On-prem. The path includes the name of the selected repository. For example, if checked in to the current branch of the software repository,

    - For 5.10.0 Service Pack 1 or later, the default location of the installation package file is: **C:\Program Files\Trellix\ePolicy Orchestrator\DB\Software\Current\EPOAGENT3700LYNX\Install\0409**.
    - For 5.10.0 or earlier, the default location of this installation package file is: **C:\Program Files\McAfee\ePolicy Orchestrator\DB\Software\Current\EPOAGENT3700LYNX\Install\0409**.
3. Open **Terminal**, then enter the path where you have saved the `install.sh` file.
4. Run the following command, giving root credentials when requested.

```
sudo chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh -i
```
