[Idea] Add support for Amazon Linux in the perl installer

[wassafr]

Your idea

Trying to install GLPI agent from the Perl installer gives error Not supported linux distribution.

Although we successfully installed the AppImage version, it would be better to have a Amazon linux compatible perl installer as we are using Ansible to deploy the agent to our servers and almost all of our servers are supported by the perl installer.

Hi @wassafr

can you share the output when using --verbose option ?

[wassafr]

sudo perl glpi-agent-1.17-linux-installer.pl --verbose
Found distro: Unknown Linux distribution
Not supported linux distribution

And if it can help :

cat /etc/amazon-linux-release
Amazon Linux release 2023 (Amazon Linux)

cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="Amazon Linux"
VERSION="2023"

Can you try to run the following command and tell us if it worked as expected ?

sudo perl glpi-agent-1.17-linux-installer.pl --verbose --force --distro=Fedora

Here it is:
