Installing and initially configuring the application using the command line

You can install the Kaspersky Endpoint Security application on a client device using the command line.

Installation using the command line involves the following steps:

1. Installing the application and the graphical interface of the application. Depending on the mode in which you want to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security, you can choose the following installation options:
   • If you want to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security in standard mode, you can:
     • Install the application with the graphical interface.
     • Install the application without the graphical interface.
     • Install the graphical interface on the device where the application is installed.

       It is not possible to install the graphical interface on a device on which the application is not installed.

   • If you want to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security in Light Agent mode, you must install the application without the graphical interface. Graphical interface is not supported.

   If the version of the apt package manager is lower than 1.1.X, use the dpkg/rpm package manager (depending on the operating system) for installation.

2. Initial configuration of the application

   The application needs initial configuration to prepare it for operation and enable the protection of the client device.

   If initial configuration of the application has not been completed on a device, you cannot use or update the application on that device.

   Initial configuration of the application is performed by running the special initial configuration script from the distribution kit of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. You can perform the initial configuration of the application in interactive mode or in automatic mode.
