About installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security

Kaspersky Endpoint Security is distributed in packages in the DEB and RPM formats.

To work with Kaspersky Endpoint Security, you must perform the following:

1. Install the Kaspersky Endpoint Security package.
2. Run the settings update script.
3. Install the Network Agent package and the Kaspersky Endpoint Security administration plug-in if you are planning to manage Kaspersky Endpoint Security using Kaspersky Security Center.

   Kaspersky Endpoint Security Service Pack 1 administration plug-in and Kaspersky Endpoint Security Service Pack 1 Maintenance Release 1 administration plug-in can be installed simultaneously. Therefore, you can manage the application by using policies created with both administration plug-in versions. Also, you can convert policies and tasks created with Kaspersky Endpoint Security Service Pack 1 administration plug-in to newer versions.

Root rights are required to access the application files and directories during the installation and application update downloading and applying.
