Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Linux

Installing Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security using the Administration Console

You can install Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security on a client device remotely from the administrator's workstation using Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.

It is installed using the Remote Installation Wizard or using the remote installation task (for details refer to Kaspersky Security Center documentation).

Creating an installation package

To create a Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security installation package:

  1. 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.
  2. 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=No in 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.

  3. If necessary, configure the application installation settings using the autoinstall.ini configuration file.
  4. Open the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center.
  5. In the console tree, select AdditionalRemote installationInstallation packages.
  6. Click the Create installation package button.

    The wizard for creating an installation package will start.

  7. In the wizard window that opens, click the Create installation package for a Kaspersky application button.
  8. Enter the name of the new installation package and proceed to the next step.
  9. Select Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security distribution package. To do this, open a standard browsing window using the Browse button and specify the path to the kess.kud file.

    The application name is displayed in the window.

    Proceed to the next step.

  10. Read the License Agreement between you and Kaspersky and the Privacy Policy that describes the processing and transmission of data.

    To continue creating the installation package, you must confirm that you have read and accept the full terms of the End User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy. To confirm, in the window that opens, select both check boxes.

    Proceed to the next step.

  11. The wizard downloads the files required to install the application to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server. Wait for the download to finish.
  12. Complete the wizard.

The created installation package is located in the tree of the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center in the AdditionalRemote installationInstallation packages folder. You can use the same installation package many times.
