-Descargamos el cliente para linux.
wget -c https://launchpad.net/ocsinventory-unix-agent/stable-2.1/2.1rc1/+download/Ocsinventory-Unix-Agent-2.1rc1.tar.gz

-Descomprimimos

cd Ocsinventory-Unix-Agent-2.1rc1

-Instalamos los siguientes módulos perl. Si no sabes como instalarlos, aquí en este articulo muestro como configurar Perl e instalar algunos módulos.

Compress::Zlib
Crypt::SSLeay
