Initial configuration of the application in interactive mode

After installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security using the command line, perform the initial application setup by running the initial configuration script. The initial configuration script is included in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security distribution kit.

Performing the initial setup after installing the application using the command line is required to enable the protection of the client device.

To run Kaspersky Endpoint Security initial configuration script, execute the following command:

# /opt/kaspersky/kesl/bin/kesl-setup.pl

The initial configuration script must be run with the root privileges after the installation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security package is finished. The script requests the values of Kaspersky Endpoint Security settings step-by-step. Script execution completion and the console release indicate that the initial application setup is completed.

To check the return code, execute the following command:

echo $?

If the command returns code 0, the initial application setup is finished successfully.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security protects the device only after the application databases are updated.
