By default, the Linux package installation of the Enterprise Agent on supported version of Oracle Linux operating system will show a warning due to missing dependency packages for BrowserBot component. The following step-by-step guide will enable the repository holding the Enterprise Agent dependency packages, before attempting to run the Enterprise Agent installation script.
All the commands below should be run as root. To reduce the content repetition, all "sudo" command prefixes have been removed and the whole guide assumes that you are running each command in a root shell.
To reach the root shell, use the following command:
$ sudo -s
The expected output is marked with bold characters on every sample command output below.
You need to register with Oracle or use an existing Oracle account to download the installation media from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

# yum install yum-utils -y
# yum-config-manager --enable ol7_optional_latest
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol7.repo
