You can use Smart Agent CLI to Install Smart Agent on multiple nodes from a host machine. Run the following command using the Smart Agent CLI:

./appd install smartagent -—install-agent-from {artifact_path} —inventory {hosts} —connection ssh —auto-start
CODE

To know more about managed nodes, see How to build your inventory.

Important

By default, the lightweight Python3 (PyPy) is bundled with AppDynamics Smart Agent CLI to run a few components. This lightweight Python is sufficient to carry tasks on the local host.  However, the remote installations at a larger scale require a full-featured Python.

Install CLI using the following commands if you are performing remote installations at scale:

[sudo] APPD_SMARTAGENT_PYTHON3=<path to python3 installed on the machine> apt install ./appdsmartagent-cli_<version>_amd64.deb
[sudo] APPD_SMARTAGENT_PYTHON3=/usr/local/bin/python3.11 apt install ./appdsmartagent-cli_<version>_amd64.deb
CODE

Python3 versions 3.9  to 3.11 are supported.
