  1. Install Ubuntu 22.04 on a physical server or virtual machine.

  2. Install the latest version of Docker engine and the Docker compose.

    sudo apt install docker.io

    sudo apt install docker-compose

  3. Configure IASM settings in Asset Management > IASM Configuration and download the configuration file (iasmproxy.yml). See IASM Configuration.

  4. Copy the configuration file to the Linux machine.

  5. Using a terminal or command prompt on the machine with Docker installed, navigate to the directory containing the downloaded iasmproxy.yml file.

There will be a delay 30 seconds before the status of the agent changes from red to green.
