Application installation procedure

Application components are installed using files from the distribution kit of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks. Prior to installing components, you must perform the necessary actions to prepare for application installation.

Installation of components is started by the application installation script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh. The script uses data that was saved in the installation settings file.

During installation of the application, by default the script verifies the checksums of packages in the folder containing the saved files from the distribution kit. This lets you verify the integrity of files from the application installation packages by comparing the calculated checksums of packages with their reference values. If a calculated checksum for even one package does not match the reference value, the installation script stops.

It is recommended to install the application with validation of the package checksums enabled. If necessary, you can disable validation of package checksums. However, correct installation of application components cannot be guaranteed if you do so.

To install Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks on computers:

  1. On the computer from which the installation will be performed, go to the folder containing the saved files from the distribution kit of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks.
  2. Enter the command for running the application installation script:

    bash kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh

    If for some reason you need to enable validation of the checksums of packages used for application installation, you can enter the script startup command with the --skip-checksum-validation switch. This switch is intended only for testing and must not be used during normal installation of the application.

    The screen prompts you to choose the language of the installation menu.

  3. Select the language that you want to use in the installation menu.

    The choice of the installation menu language does not affect the localization of the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks components. To change the localization language of components, use the Change interface language menu item.

  4. If the application installation script was run without the --skip-checksum-validation switch, after selecting the language for the installation menu, the script runs a verification of the checksums of packages in the folder containing the saved files from the distribution kit. Wait for validation of the package checksums to complete.

    If a calculated checksum for even one package does not match the reference value, the installation script stops. In this case, replace the corrupted files with the original files from the distribution kit and run the application installation script again.

  5. In the menu for selecting the installation option, select Run new installation.

    The main installation menu appears on the screen.

  6. Perform the following actions:
    1. Click the Add Server menu item to add the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server. Specify the IP addresses, name, and other main settings for the Server in the prompts that appear.

      You can configure advanced settings for the Server (for example, change the default limit on occupied disk space). Use the Change Server settings menu item to configure advanced settings.

    2. If the Server is installed with sensors, use the Add sensor menu item to add nodes of sensors. For the sensors, specify the IP addresses and names in the prompts that appear.

      You can configure advanced settings for sensors (for example, change the default limit on occupied disk space). Use the Change sensor settings menu item to configure advanced settings.

    3. Use the Change the user running the installation menu item to specify the user account with root privileges that will be used to install the application on computers. This account will be used on those nodes for which no additional account was specified when configuring advanced settings of the Server or sensors.
    4. Using the Change interface language menu item, select the localization language for components of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks.
  7. When finished configuring the settings, select Save settings and start installation.
  8. When the screen displays a message prompting you to read the terms of the End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy, press ENTER.

    The text of the End User License Agreement will appear on the screen.

  9. Please carefully read the End User License Agreement.

    The text of the End User License Agreement is displayed in the text terminal program known as less. After you are finished viewing the End User License Agreement, the screen will display a menu in which you can select your next actions.

  10. If you fully agree to the terms of the End User License Agreement, select I confirm that I have fully read, understand, and accept the terms and conditions of this End User License Agreement.

    If you do not accept the terms of the End User License Agreement, cancel application installation by selecting I decline the terms of the End User License Agreement.

  11. When you see a message about viewing the Privacy Policy, press ENTER.

    The text of the Privacy Policy will appear on the screen.

  12. Please carefully read the Privacy Policy.

    The text of the Privacy Policy is displayed in the text terminal program known as less. After you are finished viewing the Privacy Policy, the screen will display a menu in which you can select your next actions.

  13. If you fully accept the terms of the Privacy Policy, select I understand and agree that my data will be processed and transmitted (including to third-party countries) in accordance with the Privacy Policy. I confirm that I have fully read and understand the terms of the Privacy Policy.

    If you do not agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy, cancel application installation by selecting I decline the terms of the Privacy Policy.

    After you accept the terms of the Privacy Policy, the screen will prompt you to enter the password of the user running the installation.

  14. Enter the password of the user running the installation. The password must be entered twice: first in the SSH password prompt and then in the SUDO password prompt.

    The installation script will begin the installation of components. During installation, the screen will display service messages regarding operations being completed.

  15. When the prompt appears for entering the password of the application user (the user name that was specified during configuration of the Server), enter the new user password.

    You can use uppercase and lowercase letters of the Latin alphabet, numerals, and the following special characters: ( ) . , : ; ? ! * + % - < > @ [ ] { } / \ _ $ #.

    The password must meet the following requirements:

    • Must contain from 8 to 20 characters.
    • Must contain one or more uppercase letters.
    • Must contain one or more lowercase letters.
    • Must contain one or more numerals.

Wait for completion of the script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh.

After installation is complete, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks does not monitor the industrial network (monitoring points have not been added to network interfaces of nodes that have application components installed). To use the application, you need to perform the necessary actions to prepare the application for operation.
