Installing Initiator Agents

Install an Initiator Agent on each machine from which you want to execute tasks. Your IncrediBuild Environment should include at least one Initiator Agent.

Note: When installing an Initiator Agent, by default a Helper Agent is installed as well.

> To install an Initiator Agent:

Copy IncrediBuild Installer file to the machine from which tasks will be initiated.
In the terminal, enter:
```
sudo bash ./incredibuild_<version no.>.bin -i -S -O <Coordinator_Machine_IP_or_Hostname> -A <Path_to_IncrediBuild_Data_Files>
```
Where:
-i - General installation command.
-S - Initiator Agent and Helper Agent installation.
-O - The IP address or hostname of the Coordinator that will communicate with the Agent.
-A - The storage directory, where IncrediBuild DBs and file cache will be stored.

Output:
```
Starting incredibuild_server: OK

Starting incredibuild_helper: OK

Starting incredibuild_upgrade: OK

Starting incredibuild_httpd: OK

Starting incredibuild_watchdog: OK

Starting incredibuild_babysit: OK
```
An Initiator Agent and a Helper Agent are installed on the machine.

For example: Installing an Initiator Agent

The following command is entered in the terminal of the machine from which tasks will be executed:

sudo bash ./incredibuild_0.96.71.bin -i -S -O IncrediBuild1 -A /etc/IncrediBuild

In this example:

The name of the Installer file is - 96.71.bin
An Initiator Agent and a Helper Agent are installed on the machine.
The Agent will communicate with a Coordinator whose hostname is - IncrediBuild1.
The Installer file will install IncrediBuild DB files at - etc/IncrediBuild
