To create a Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security installation package:
- Download the kess.zip archive from the application download page. It is located in the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Linux -> Additional distribution section, in the Files for Product remote installation subsection.
- Unpack the files from the kess.zip archive to a folder accessible by Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server. Place the distribution files, that correspond to the type of operating system where you want to install the application and the type of its package manager, to the same folder:
- To install Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security:
- kess-3.3.0-<build number>.i386.rpm (for 32-bit operating systems with rpm)
- kess_3.3.0-<build number>_i386.deb (for 32-bit operating systems with dpkg)
- kess-3.3.0-<build number>.x86_64.rpm (for 64-bit operating systems with rpm)
- kess_3.3.0-<build number>_amd64.deb (for 64-bit operating systems with dpkg)
- To install the graphical user interface:
- kess-gui-3.3.0-<build number>.i386.rpm (for 32-bit operating systems with rpm)
- kess-gui-3.3.0-<build number>_i386.deb (for 32-bit operating systems with dpkg)
- kess-gui-3.3.0-<build number>.x86_64.rpm (for 64-bit operating systems with rpm)
- kess-gui-3.3.0-<build number>_amd64.deb (for 64-bit operating systems with dpkg)
If you do not want to install a graphical user interface, do not use these files; this will make the installation package smaller.
If the graphical user interface will not be used, the next step requires you to set the parameter-value pair
USE_GUI=Noin the autoinstall.ini configuration file. Otherwise, the installation will fail.If you want to use the created installation package to install the application on several types of operating systems or package managers, place the files for all the required types of operating systems and package managers in the folder.
