Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux

Post-installation configuration of the application in interactive mode

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

Performing the post-installation configuration after installing the application using the command line is required to enable the protection of the client device.

To run the 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. The script finishing and the console being released indicate that the post-installation configuration is completed.

To check the return code, execute the following command:

echo $?

If the command returns 0, the post-installation configuration of the application is completed successfully.

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