1. Decide under which user you will run Zabbix agent.
As running as 'root' is bad for security, let's run it under user 'zabbix'.
Create account for user 'zabbix', set appropriate group membership.
2. Decide in which directory you want to install it.
For example, in /opt/zabbix_3.0.0.
Create directory, set permissions, e.g.
# mkdir /opt/zabbix_3.0.0
# chown zabbix:zabbix /opt/zabbix_3.0.0
# chmod u=rwx,go= /opt/zabbix_3.0.0
3. Unpack tar file, e.g.
# su - zabbix
$ cd /opt/zabbix_3.0.0
$ gunzip -c /path_to_archive/zabbix_agents_2.4.4.hpux11_31.ia64.tar.gz | tar xf -
Now you have
$ ls -lR
