Installing from source

[droidus]

My agent is running Ubuntu 19.10. I downloaded the file:
https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/u...bionic_all.deb. After compiling then installing, I go to modify this file: /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf, but it is not there.

sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_5.0-1+bionic_all.deb
(Reading database ... 338253 files and directories currently installed.)

apt installed:

There is no agent package for Ubuntu 19.10. Even if you install the package for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic), it will not work properly. If you are installing from source, please refer to the manual.

So I need to go to Ubuntu 20 then?

If you don't want to compile from source yourself and want to build your environment immediately using Zabbix official packages, move to a version that has packages such as 20.04 (Focal) instead of 19.10. Please consider.
