Install the
Linux
 agent

The following steps use a CentOS 7.4 virtual machine and logged in as the root user.
  1. Copy synced certificates to the proper directory for all target Linux machines. See Configure CylancePROTECT Desktop Linux agents for more information.
  2. Create the config_defaults.txt file and include the
    CylanceHYBRID
     installation parameters.
    • Enter
      mkdir /opt/cylance
      , then press
      Enter
      . This creates the
      Cylance
       installation folder.
    • Enter
      cd /opt/cylance
      , then press
      Enter
      .
    • Enter
      echo InstallToken=YourInstallationToken > config_defaults.txt
      , then press
      Enter

      YourInstallationToken
       with the installation token from the
      Cylance
       console.
    • Enter
      echo InstallRegistrationURL=<hybridurl> >> config_defaults.txt
      , then press
      Enter
      . Replace
      <hybridurl>
       with the fully-qualified domain name for the
      CylanceHYBRID
       server. Example: https://login.hybrid.com. See Examples for the Linux Configuration File.
    • Enter
      echo InstallTrustedSuffix=<hybridsuffix> >> config_defaults.txt
      , then press
      Enter
      . Replace
      <hybridsuffix>
       with the URL suffix for the
      CylanceHYBRID
       server. Example: hybrid.com. See Examples for the Linux Configuration File.
    • Enter
      echo InstallInfinityURL=<hybridurl> >> config_defaults.txt
      , then press
      Enter
      . Replace
      <hybridurl>
       with the fully-qualified domain name for the
      CylanceHYBRID
       server. Example: https://login.hybrid.com. See Examples for the Linux Configuration File.
  3. Navigate to the folder with the
    CylancePROTECT 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.
    This example installs the
    Linux
     agent for RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 (el7). Change the RPM file name as needed during installation.
    1. Type
      rpm -ivh CylancePROTECTOpenDriver-<version>.rpm
      , then press Enter. This installs the
      CylancePROTECT
       open driver.
    2. Type
      rpm -ivh CylancePROTECTDriver-<version>.rpm
      , then press Enter. This installs the
      CylancePROTECT
       agent driver.
    3. Type
      rpm -ivh CylancePROTECT.el7.rpm
      , then press
      Enter
      . This installs the
      CylancePROTECT Desktop
      Linux
       agent.
    4. Optionally, type
      rpm -ivh CylancePROTECTUI.el7.rpm
      , then press
      Enter
      . This installs the
      CylancePROTECT Desktop
       UI for the
      Linux
       agent. The UI is not required to run the agent.
