* The first step in installing Deka Agent is to download the Deka Agent file from the Lintasarta bucket address by entering the following syntax.

```
wget https://bukcet.cloud.lintasarta.co.id:8802/deka/agent/deka-agent
```

* Wait until the download reaches **100%**. To ensure the download is successful, confirm that the **deka-agent** file has been saved.

* After the download is complete, change the execution permission of the Deka Agent file so it can be run as a program by entering the following syntax.

```
chmod +x deka-agent
```

* After granting execution access to the Deka Agent file, install Deka Agent on the Virtual Machine (VM) by entering the following syntax.

```
 ./deka-agent install
```

* The Deka Agent file will be available in the directory **/usr/local/bin/deka-agent**. If the installation process is successful, the message **Deka Agent reloaded successfully** will appear.

* To check the status of the Deka Agent service, enter the following command syntax.

```
systemctl status deka-agent
```

* After entering the syntax, the status **active** will appear if the Deka Agent service is running on the Virtual Machine (VM).

* To monitor the Deka Agent monitoring service, enter the syntax below.

```sh
  systemctl status deka-monitoring-agent.service
```

* A response showing **active** indicates that the Deka Agent monitoring service is running on the Virtual Machine (VM).
