Install the Aurora Focus agent on the Linux device

Complete the following steps if the Aurora Protect Desktop agent is already installed on the Linux device and the device is already communicating with the CylanceHYBRID application.
  • Verify that you are running CylanceHYBRID version 2.0 or later.
  • Verify that the Aurora Protect Desktop agent is installed and properly communicating with CylanceHYBRID before you install the Aurora Focus agent on the device.
  • Use the most recent versions of the Aurora Protect Desktop agent, and the Aurora Focus agent if you will also install Aurora Focus. For more information, see the compatibility information for the Aurora Endpoint Security desktop agents. 

  1. Download the Aurora Focus setup file to the Linux device. You can either sign in to the Aurora Endpoint Security management console from the device, or transfer the installation file from an external source (like a USB flash drive) to the device. You can also use a group policy or other software-management system to deploy the Aurora Focus installer.
  2. Configure CylanceHYBRID as the proxy server for Aurora Focus. On each Aurora Focus endpoint, run the following commands as root or using a root shell:

    Task

    CLI command

    Make the cyoptics.service.d directory

    mkdir /etc/systemd/system/cyoptics.service.d

    Add the CylanceHYBRID instance to the proxy.conf file

    echo "[Service]" > /etc/systemd/system/cyoptics.service.d/proxy.conf

    echo "Environment=http_proxy=http://<cylancehybrid.domain.local>:8888" >> /etc/systemd/system/cyoptics.service.d/proxy.conf

    echo "Environment=https_proxy=http://<cylancehybrid.domain.local>:8888" >> /etc/systemd/system/cyoptics.service.d/proxy.conf

  3. Use the following command to verify the contents of the file:
    CODE 
    cat /etc/systemd/system/cyoptics.service.d/proxy.conf
    The following is a sample output for that command: 
         [Service]
     Environment=http_proxy=http://cylancehybrid.domain.local:8888
     Environment=https_proxy=http://cylancehybrid.domain.local:8888
  4. If you make changes to the proxy.conf file after you install Aurora Focus, you must restart the cyoptics service for the changes to take effect. Run the following commands as root:
    1. systemctl stop cyoptics
    2. systemctl daemon-reload
    3. systemctl start cyoptics
  5. Perform one of the following tasks:

    Task

    Steps

    Use the GUI.
    1. Double-click the Aurora Focus installer. No other parameters or configuration are required.
    2. Click Continue.
    3. Click Close when the installation is complete.

    Use the terminal commands.
    Note: Make sure that your version of Linux meets the requirements for Aurora Focus. See Requirements: Aurora Focus.
    Do one of the following:
    • On RHEL/CentOS, SUSE, or Amazon Linux 2, open a terminal window and run the following command: yum install CylanceOPTICS-<version>.rpm, where <version> is the version of the .rpm file.
    • On Ubuntu, run the following command: dpkg -i cylance-optics_<version>_amd64.deb, where <version> is the version of the .deb file.
