Install a Linux Sensor on an Endpoint using the RPM/DPKG Installer

You can install a Linux sensor on an endpoint by using this method.

Note: For Linux sensors 2.15.0+

• Blades are intrinsic to the sensor installation package and are automatically installed and configured during the sensor installation. With 2.15.0+, both Audit and Remediation and Enterprise EDR blades are installed.

Procedure

1. Extract the contents of the installer package into an empty directory.
2. Install the RPM/DEB package.

   RPM:

   For x86_64 machines:

   $ cd <preferred working directory>

   $ sudo rpm -i cb-psc-install/cb-psc-sensor-<BUILD-NUMBER>.x86_64.rpm

   DEB:

   For x86_64 machines:

   $ cd <preferred working directory>

   $ sudo dpkg -i cb-psc-install/cb-psc-sensor-<BUILD-NUMBER>.x86_64.deb 

3. For sensor versions prior to 2.15.0, install the blades.
   $ sudo cb-psc-install/blades/bladesUnpack.sh
4. Update the cfg.ini file with the v3.x+ company registration code.
   $ sudo /opt/carbonblack/psc/bin/cbagentd -d '<COMPANY_CODE>'
5. Start the agent.
   For CentOS/RHEL 6:

   $ service cbagentd start

   For all other distributions:

   $ systemctl start cbagentd
