Installing Light Agent for Linux in interactive mode

To install Light Agent for Linux from the command line in interactive mode, start the installation script by running the following command:

# sh lightagent-5.0.X-Х-bundle.sh

where 5.0.Х-Х is the number of the application version.

As a result, the installation script will perform the following actions:

  1. Install Network Agent.

    If the required version of Network Agent is already installed, this step will be skipped.

    After Network Agent is installed, you must perform its initial configuration (please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation).

  2. Install Light Agent for Linux.

    After Light Agent for Linux is installed, you must perform its initial configuration.

To perform initial configuration of Light Agent for Linux:

  1. Start the initial configuration script by running the following command:

    /opt/kaspersky/lightagent/bin/lightagent-setup.pl

  2. Read the text of the End User License Agreement concluded between you and Kaspersky Lab, and the Privacy Policy describing the handling and transmission of data. To do so, press Enter. To finish your review, use the q key. After exiting the viewing mode, enter yes (or y) if you accept the terms of the End User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy.

    To continue initial configuration of Light Agent for Linux, you need to accept the terms of the End User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy.

  3. Specify the ID of the language of Light Agent for Linux events that are sent to Kaspersky Security Center: ru, en, fr, de, etc.

    By default, the initial configuration script proposes using the en language ID. Press Enter to confirm that you want to use the English language for events or specify a different language ID.

  4. The initial configuration script checks whether there is support for Fanotify API technology in the operating system.
    • If the operating system supports Fanotify API technology, the initial configuration script proceeds to step 5 of these instructions.
    • If the operating system does not support Fanotify API technology, you need to confirm the path to the source code of the operating system kernel or specify a different path to the source code of the kernel to start compiling the module of the Linux operating system kernel on the virtual machine.

      If the initial configuration script detects source code of the operating system kernel in the default folder, the path to that folder is displayed on the screen. To confirm the path to source codes of the operating system core, press Enter. The initial configuration script starts compilation of the module of the Linux operating system kernel on the virtual machine.

      If kernel module compilation has not been performed, the real-time protection task does not perform operations on objects of the file system of the protected virtual machine.

  5. The initial configuration script performs configuration of Light Agent for Linux. If errors are encountered during configuration, information about them is displayed on the screen.
