Install Kaspersky Client on Linux host (quick and dirty).

Install Kaspersky on Linux Host (Debian/Ubuntu)

I created this so I wouldn't forget and have to piece this all together (again) when configuring a Linux host in my environment. So, here is a quick and dirty guide to installing the Kaspersky client for Linux on a Debian 7.x host. The same basic instructions could be used for Ubuntu or any other Debian/Ubuntu derivative.

I have also included the instructions for installing the KSC agent for Linux as well so you can manage the host from the Kaspersky Security Center console.


Here goes!

Make sure and have libc installed:

'apt-get install libc6-i386'

Find Kernel Version with this command:
'cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease'

Search the APT repsositories for the Linux Headers for your Kernel:
'apt-cache search linux-headers'

Download the headers that correspond to your kernel version:
'apt-get install linux-headers-<kernel_version>'

Download the client from here:

'wget http://products.kasperskylabs.com/products/multilanguage/workstations/keslinux/kes4lwks_8.0.1-50_i386.deb'


Install the Kes4lwks package after you download it:
'dpkg -i --force-architecture kes4lwks_8.0.1-50_i386.deb'


Configure KES4lwks with this script:

'/opt/kaspersky/kes4lwks/bin/./kes4lwks-setup.pl'


(Just accept the defaults for the most part.)

If you are asked for a key file (registration file) you will need to upload it to the folder you are working in and give it the path (Example below);

/root/xxxxxx.reg


If you use an agent to connect to a Kaspersky Admin Console (Kaspersky Security Center):

Download the install package:

wget

Install the agent from the Kaspersky Web Site:

'dpkg -i --force-architecture klnagent_8.5.0-662_i386.deb'


Give it the DNS name or IP address of your server and accept the defaults (unless you have non-standard settings for your KSC Console).



Everything should be done at this point. If you installed the agent make sure and move in the Kaspersky Security Center to a container where you can configure a policy and manage it. (green is good and red is bad).
