      , then press
      Enter
      . Replace

  3. Navigate to the folder with the
    BlackBerry Protect Desktop
    Linux
     agent installation file. For example, if the installation file is in the Downloads folder and you are logged on as root: enter
    cd /root/Downloads
    , then press
    Enter
    .
  4. Install the
    CylancePROTECT
     drivers and agent software.

    1. Type
      rpm -ivh CylancePROTECTOpenDriver-<version>.rpm
      , then press Enter. This installs the

      rpm -ivh CylancePROTECTDriver-<version>.rpm
      , then press Enter. This installs the

       agent driver.
    3. Type
      rpm -ivh CylancePROTECT.el7.rpm
      , then press
      Enter
      . This installs the
      BlackBerry Protect Desktop
      Linux
       agent.
    4. Optionally, type
      rpm -ivh CylancePROTECTUI.el7.rpm
      , then press
      Enter
      . This installs the
      BlackBerry Protect Desktop
       UI for the
      Linux
       agent. The UI is not required to run the agent.
