OverOps for Java on Linux

This article walks you through the process of installing OverOps on your laptop or local PC Java application using Linux.

Introduction

The procedure for installing a local Collector (with a Micro-Agent) on Linux is similar to the process of installing a regular Collector except for the additional requirement to append the flag --local_collector to the wget one-liner.

Here is a video describing that process
