Preparing for local installation of the Server or a sensor

On the computer where the Server or sensor will be installed, verify that the following conditions are fulfilled:

• There is network access to the computer.
• The computer has a user account with root privileges (the local installation script will be run under this user account).
• The computer does not have any user accounts or groups with the following names that are reserved for interaction between application components (if these accounts exist, they could receive elevated access rights, even root privileges, after the application is installed):
  • If the Server will be installed:
    • kics4net
    • kics4net-apm
    • kics4net-asset-config-repo
    • kics4net-asset-inventory
    • kics4net-blob-storage
    • kics4net-config-control-orchestrator
    • kics4net-connectors

    • kics4net-epp-proxy
    • kics4net-fts
    • kics4net-nats-server
    • kics4net-oval-facade
    • kics4net-postgresql
    • kics4net-report-builder
    • kics4net-report-data-source
    • kics4net-report-renderer
    • kics4net-report-tc
    • kics4net-report-tcv
    • kics4net-responses-manager

    • kics4net-scap-manager
    • kics4net-scap-manager-view
    • kics4net-scan-oval-manager
    • kics4net-scheduler
    • kics4net-secrets
    • kics4net-task-m
    • kics4net-task-mv
    • kics4net-vault
    • kics4net-webserver
  • If a sensor will be installed:
    • kics4net
    • kics4net-apm
    • kics4net-connectors
    • kics4net-connectors-launcher
    • kics4net-epp-proxy
    • kics4net-nats-server
    • kics4net-oval-facade
    • kics4net-websensor

To prepare the computer for the local installation of the Server or a sensor:

1. Find out and save the following information about the computer:
   • User account credentials for the account with root privileges that will be used to run the local installation script.
   • Name and IP address of the computer (for subsequent connection to this computer).

   To display the computer name, you can enter the hostname command in the command line. To display information about IP addresses and network interfaces, you can enter the sudo ifconfig command in the command line.

2. Copy the kics4net-release_<application version>.tar.gz archive from the distribution kit to the computer.
3. Go to the folder containing the copied archive and enter the following command to unpack it:

   tar -zxvf kics4net-release_<application version>.tar.gz

The unpacked folders and files will appear in the subfolder kics4net-release_<application version>.
