Hi Ray and Elenal,

Thank you for your comments.

Ray, Elenal specified correct instructions, and I just want to add that the system should be prepared, too. I'd suggest to run the
apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) (if you's using Debian/debian-based systems)
or
yum install -y gcc kernel kernel-headers kernel-devel (if you're using RedHat/Fedora Linux)

After that make the downloaded file executable
chmod 777 ABR11*

And run the installation file.

I would also like to mention that sometimes we receive support calls regarding the error one may receive when launching the product "Cannot connect to mms..."

Usually this error appears when you're starting the product from GUI, and the user's permissions are not sufficient. Just run the ABR console from the terminal: 
sudo acronis_console
and it should work.

Let us know if you have any questions, we will be glad to help.

Thank you.

Amusingly, both Yana and the help link advise *yum install -y gcc kernel*. Not a good trick if you've built a custom kernel. Don't think updating the kernel is really necessary, just make sure that kernel-devel has the same version.
