Preparing an archive with application databases in order to create an installation package with integrated databases

In some cases, you may need to create a remote installation package with pre-downloaded application databases. For example, if you install the application on a device running the Astra Linux Special Edition operating system or want to install the application immediately with prepared current databases (so as to avoid separately updating the databases later).

To create an installation package with integrated databases for installing the application:

  1. Install and perform the initial configuration of Kaspersky Endpoint Security on the device using the command line or using Kaspersky Security Center.
  2. Update the application databases. You can update the databases during the initial configuration of the application or after installation by running an Update task in the command line or an Update task in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console or Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
  3. Copy the contents of the /var/opt/kaspersky/kesl/private/updates/ directory to one of the following subdirectories, depending on the architecture of the operating system for which you are creating the installation package with integrated databases: /i386/, /x86_64/, or /arm64/.
  4. Place the directories with the databases into a kesl-bases.tgz archive, preserving the structure of nested directories. You can place only one subdirectory with databases for the required architecture of the operating system in the archive, or if you plan to create an installation package for installation on several operating systems with different architectures, you can place all the subdirectories with databases (/i386/, /x86_64/, or /arm64/) into a single archive for different architectures.
  5. You can use the created archive with application databases when creating an installation package in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console or Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
