If you're still having issues: Full List Needed

Git

If you use git, git >= 2.9.0 is a pre-requisite for Ubuntu agents.

Install Latest Git on Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install git

Optionally Java if Tfvc

The agent distributes team explorer everywhere.

But, if you are using Tfvc, install Oracle Java 1.8+ as TEE uses Java.

Etc

There was an assertion that on Ubuntu 16 this was needed. We didn't need. Adding in case it helps someone. We will verify on clean build and dev boxes.

apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
