zabbix agent installation failing into Debian 9 "stretch"server

[miguel.hernandez]

I need to install zabbix agent into Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) server.
zabbix version 6.4 / OS distribution Debian / OS version 9 (stretch) / agent
following the process from:
https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabb...debian&os_vers ion=9&components=agent&db=&ws=

This first part works fine:
wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.4/d...ebian9_all.deb
dpkg -i zabbix-release_6.4-1+debian9_all.deb zz0.jbyszsnbb3zz

but failing in next step: apt update with below error:

root@REDIS-STG-01:/home/redisuser01# apt update -y
Ign:1 http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian stretch InRelease
Ign:2 http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian stretch-updates InRelease

N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed?
E: The repository 'http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian stretch Release' does no longer have a Release file. zz0.av3lm4sphrkzz

I can not find a repo with a good packages, can please somebody redirect me to a repo with correct zabbix agent version that can run in Debian 9
Because of the software running there in this moment is not an option to upgrade OS

[solution]

A quick Google search shows that Debian 9 has already been moved to "archive".
That's why the 404 error.

try this:

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https && sudo apt-get update

thanks a lot in advance, after followed your advice sadly still not working:

after: sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https && sudo apt-get update I got:

So I also tried to apt-get update and I am still getting the same error:
