INSTALL_PREFIX relocates the agent's install tree to a writable root so the agent can run on systems where /etc, /opt, and /usr are read-only. Some systems, such as TrueNAS Scale, will have a read-only root and expect custom programs to run in a mounted "system" filesystem.

The installation can be moved by setting one of the following.

  • --install-prefix <path> CLI flag; takes precedent over $INSTALL_PREFIX.
  • $INSTALL_PREFIX environment variable

Relates to PR #2462 in the tacticalrmm repo.

Fixes this comment.
