Hello,

is it possible to install Synthetic Private Agent 4.4 and later on a Linux server?

Doing so, is it possible to start the agent as a service, the way we do for example with Machine Agent(Server Visibility) or .Net Agent on Windows server?

I have a related question, since I cannot use Linux, and this is a year old now.

Can I use Server 2016? Or is 2012/2012R2 still the only OS you recommend?
