Create Installation Packages for Wazuh Agent

[vikman90]

Parent Issue:

• Implement Service and Packaging for New Wazuh Agent #126

Description

This issue focuses on creating platform-specific packages (RPM, DEB, MSI, PKG) to facilitate the installation of the Wazuh agent across supported operating systems. The packages should integrate with the native package managers and follow best practices for each platform.

Functional Requirements

• Linux: Create RPM and DEB packages to install the Wazuh agent on RHEL-based and Debian-based distributions.
• Windows: Create an MSI installer for the Wazuh agent.
• macOS: Create a PKG installer for macOS 14+.

Subtasks

• Linux (RPM) Package Creation #133
  • Develop an RPM spec file for RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, and similar distributions.
• Linux (DEB) Package Creation #143
  • Create a DEB package for Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.).
• Windows (MSI) Installer Creation #134
  • Develop an MSI installer for Windows.
  • Ensure the installer correctly registers the agent as a Windows Service.
  • Handle dependencies and any required installation scripts (pre/post-install).
• macOS (PKG) Installer Creation #135
  • Develop a PKG installer for macOS.
  • Ensure the installer sets up the agent as a launch daemon.
  • Handle installation-related tasks like setting up permissions and configuring files.
• Documentation:
  • Create installation instructions for each type of package (RPM, DEB, MSI, PKG).
  • Provide troubleshooting guidelines for package-related issues.

Update

(16/10/2024) Added option to run make install and let every built file in the desired folder based on the building environment. We are waiting for this development to complete the service installation:

• Enhancement/130 create systemd service linux #221

Currently, the installation only places the following file:

Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "RelWithDebInfo"
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/bin/wazuh-agent

(16/10/2024) Improved path setting and added option to modify it.

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /usr/local/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.xd9Atp (%build)

This error occurs when we try to generate an RPM package by running the following command on the master branch:

./packages/generate_package.sh --system rpm -t agent --tag 5.0.0

We have identified that if we build using the "Debug" mode instead of "Release," this issue does not occur:

cmake . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build build -j 16

• Tried various compiler flags and recompiling dependencies without success.
• Investigated library and linker settings and Boost Asio configurations.
• Resolved the issue by enabling position-independent code with CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE ON, which allowed the linker to properly handle shared libraries and resolve the symbols. I create this branch with the fix.
