Using a script for local installation of application components

This article describes the procedure for local installation of an application component (Server or sensor) on a computer by using the kics4net-install.sh script.

Prior to locally installing components, you must perform the necessary actions to prepare for application installation.

The application components local installation script can install only one of the components (Server or sensor) on a computer. If an application component (for example, the Server) is already installed on a computer, you cannot install a different type of component (in this case, a sensor) on this computer. If you attempt to install the same type of component on the computer, the local installation script will reinstall the component.

When installing the Server, the Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent component is automatically installed. This requires that the kics4net-release_<application version>/linux-astra directory, created when preparing for local installation, contain a Network Agent installation package.

Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent is not installed if this component is being used by another Kaspersky application (to avoid disrupting the interaction between this application and the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server). In addition, the functionality for interaction between Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks and Kaspersky Security Center may be limited if the version of the installed Network Agent differs from the version of this component provided in the distribution kit of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks.

To locally install a Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server:

  1. Log in to the system using the account credentials of a user account with root privileges that you want to use to run the local installation script.
  2. Go to the folder with the files of scripts and packages for installing, verifying and removing application components included in the distribution kit. The files are located in the kics4net-release_<application version>/linux-astra subfolder.
  3. Enter the command for running local installation of the Server:

    bash kics4net-install.sh --server

    where server is the setting for enabling Server installation mode (required setting).

    Additionally, you can specify the following parameters for running the installation script:

    --product-language=<language>: defines the application language. The setting can take the following values:

    • english—English
    • russian—Russian

    --enable-debug-grpc-server – installs a debug gRPC server. This gRPC server is used for testing purposes and is not required for normal use of the application.

    If the script is run with the --enable-debug-grpc-server parameter, the application will lose its certified state.

  4. If the start command does not contain the --product-language=<language> parameter, the language for program components is selected as follows:
    • If no components are installed on the computer, then before the installation process a menu appears, where you need to specify the number of the desired language.
    • If the Server component is found installed on the computer, then, when reinstalling the component, the script uses the language selected for the previous installation.

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

Please wait for the kics4net-install.sh script to finish.

To locally install a Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks sensor:

  1. Log in to the system using the account credentials of a user account with root privileges that you want to use to run the local installation script.
  2. Go to the folder with the unpacked files of scripts and packages for installing, verifying and removing application components, included in the distribution kit. The files are located in the kics4net-release_<application version>/linux-astra subfolder.
  3. Enter the command for starting local installation of a sensor:

    bash kics4net-install.sh --sensor

    where sensor is the setting for enabling sensor installation mode (required setting).

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

Please wait for the kics4net-install.sh script to finish.
