Once you are able to SSH you can manually install the waagent by following this: http://blog.admindiary.com/install-microsoft-azure-linux-agent-waagent/

OR

Refer to the documentation in the Azure Linux Agent repo on GitHub for advanced installation options, such as installing from source or to custom locations or prefixes.
