Manual installation using AWS Systems Manager Distributor (deprecated)

Description

The user creates a package with Breeze Agent. The distributor publishes this package to System Manager managed instances. Then the agent can be installed or uninstalled:

Prerequisites

The distributor package consists of a manifest and two .zip archive files for Windows and Linux platforms. Each archive contains install and uninstall scripts, as well as Breeze Agent distro respectively to the platform. The manifest template and scripts can be obtained from the GitHub repository.

In the file manifest.json, find the field "version" and change its value to a meaningful one. The value of a version name should also be specified when the package is added to the Distributor (it becomes a part of the AWS Systems Manager document). The version value can contain letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, and periods, and be from 3 to 128 characters in length. Using a human-readable value is recommended.
