43 +Please note that the Unix Agent has been advanced with additional scanners in acmp version 6.10. The System Scanner requires certain packages for this purpose, which must be installed or downloaded on Linux environments.

45 +The Unix Agent reads the TPM information from the physical devices and then populates certain fields (e.g., “TPM enabled,” “TPM on,” or “TPM manufacturer”) with the corresponding values.
46 +
47 +You will need the following packages:
