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
