# Installing a Commvault Cloud Package on a UNIX or Linux Server - Direct to Cloud

On a UNIX or Linux server, you can install the Commvault Cloud package (direct to cloud) using either the interactive mode or the silent mode.

Use this installation method when you want to back up your data directly to the cloud. This means that the package will be installed in the data source that backs up the data directly to cloud storage (for example, Air Gap Protect, MS Azure, or Amazon S3).

## Before You Begin

- Download the Commvault Cloud package from the Commvault Cloud Service Catalog. When you configure a new application and select a direct to cloud installation, the download link is available.

  Tip

  Copy the URL for the package, and then use wget to download the Commvault Cloud package to your server.

- Copy the authcode when you download the Commvault Cloud package if the following applies to you:

  - You want to install the Commvault Cloud package using the silent mode.

  - You want authenticate with the server using an authcode instead of your Commvault Cloud credentials.

- Go to the location where you saved the Commvault Cloud package, and extract the installation files using the "GNU" TAR utility.

  The name of the file depends on the platform. For example, if you download the Commvault Cloud package for AIX, the file name is AixSeed64.tar.

- If you want to install the Commvault Cloud package using a sudo user, add a sudo user with root privileges.

## Interactive Mode

1. Log on to the computer as root or as a sudo user with root privileges.

2. On the command line, go to the location where you extracted the Commvault Cloud package, and then type one of the following commands:

   - If you logged on as root, type:

         ./cvpkgadd

     Note: If your servers use an internet proxy server, use the following command instead:

          ./cvpkgadd -httpproxyhost $[XXX.XX.XX.XXX] -httpproxyport $[YYYY]

     where:

     - XXX.XX.XX.XXX is the IP address of the proxy server

     - YYYY is the port number of the proxy server

   - If you logged on as a sudo user, type:

         sudo ./cvpkgadd

3. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.

4. When prompted, enter your Commvault Cloud credentials or the authcode.

## Silent Mode

1. Log on to the computer as root or as a sudo user with root privileges.

2. On the command line, go to the location where you extracted the Commvault Cloud package, and then type one of the following commands:

   - If you logged on as root, type:

          ./silent_install -authcode $[code]

     Note: If your servers use an internet proxy server, use the following command instead:

          ./silent_install -authcode -httpproxyhost $[XXX.XX.XX.XXX] -httpproxyport $[YYYY]

     where:

     - XXX.XX.XX.XXX is the IP address of the proxy server

     - YYYY is the port of the proxy server

   - If you logged on as a sudo user, type:

          sudo ./silent_install -authcode $[code]

   where code is the authorization code that you copied when you downloaded the Commvault Cloud package.
