Install the Linux agent

Note: 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 Aurora Protect 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 Endpoint Defense installation folder.
    • Enter cd /opt/cylance, then press Enter.
    • Enter echo InstallToken=YourInstallationToken > config_defaults.txt, then press Enter. Replace YourInstallationToken with the installation token from the Endpoint Defense 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 Aurora 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 Aurora Protect drivers and agent software.
    Note: 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 Aurora Protect open driver.
    2. Type rpm -ivh CylancePROTECTDriver-<version>.rpm, then press Enter. This installs the Aurora Protect agent driver.
    3. Type rpm -ivh CylancePROTECT.el7.rpm, then press Enter. This installs the Aurora Protect Desktop Linux agent.
    4. Optionally, type rpm -ivh CylancePROTECTUI.el7.rpm, then press Enter. This installs the Aurora Protect Desktop UI for the Linux agent. The UI is not required to run the agent.
