1. Get the archive for your GLPI


First, download archive:

• Recent versions (>= 0.90) : https://github.com/fusioninventory/fusioninventory-for-


glpi/releases
• older versions http://forge.fusioninventory.org/projects/fusioninventory-for-glpi/files

FusionInventory for GLPI tarball name follow this convention:

• fusioninventory-for-glpi_
• GLPI major release (0.80, 0.83, 0.84, 0.85, etc)
• a ‘+’ symbol
• FusionInventory release

2. Install or update
2.1. Update
You must FIRST disable the FusionInventory plugin via GLPI web interface and then move
the plugins/fusioninventory folder out of the plugins/ folder. This ensures any
deprecated files will be properly removed.

Don't click on UNINSTALL link. If you do this, you will LOSE all FusionInventory
data.

2.2. Installation
If a previous FusionInventory version is already installed, you must read the Update
section.

It’s also always a good idea to do a backup of your database.

• Uncompress the archive into the plugin folder of GLPI. File list looks like:
◦ folder glpi
▪ folder plugins
▪ _folder fusioninventory
▪ file index.php

Once the plugin is activated, you will have to go on the Administration > Entities > Root entity
> tab FusionInventory page to set the Service URL. You need to enter the location of your
GLPI server, for example http://glpi.mydomain/ .

Once this is done, you can install and configure. your first agent.

3. Options detail in general configuration


In general configuration of the plugin FusionInventory for GLPI, there are the options:

SSL-only for agent: send an error response to an agent when this agent communicates to
the server without SSL.

4. Security
We strongly recommend to activate SSL on the server side to protect human user
communications, and eventually agent communications too.

See here for details.

5. GLPI cron
It’s very important for tasks management, see cron in GLPI for details.
