After installing the Plugin Agent today on Ubuntu 12.04, I enhanced the guide that MeetMe provides. Try the following steps:

1. Install pip:

   $ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential

   $ sudo pip install --upgrade pip

   $ sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv

2. For certain plugins there might be additional installations, so check out the plugin instructions. [MongoDB plugin for example needs python driver for Mongo]

3. Copy the configuration file example to /etc/newrelic/newrelic_plugin_agent.cfg and edit the configuration in that file to enable the plugin and set the New Relic license key:

   $ sudo cp /opt/newrelic_plugin_agent/etc/newrelic/newrelic_plugin_agent.cfg /etc/newrelic/newrelic_plugin_agent.cfg

4. Change ownership of newrelic folders to newrelic user:

   $ sudo chown newrelic:newrelic /var/run/newrelic

   $ sudo chown newrelic:newrelic /var/log/newrelic

5. Run the agent:

   $ sudo newrelic_plugin_agent -c /etc/newrelic/newrelic_plugin_agent.cfg

6. If the process is not staying up try to run it as foreground process and check out the output:

   $ sudo newrelic_plugin_agent -c /etc/newrelic/newrelic_plugin_agent.cfg -f
