Step-by-step ESET PROTECT On-Prem installation on Linux

In this installation scenario we will simulate the step-by-step installation of ESET PROTECT Server and ESET PROTECT Web Console. We will simulate installation using MySQL.

Before installation

1.Verify that the database server is present in your network and ensure you have access to it on your local/remote server. If a database server is not installed, install and configure a new one.

2.Download ESET PROTECT Linux standalone components (Agent, Server, Web Console). You can find these installation files in the ESET PROTECT Standalone Installers category available on the ESET website.

Installation process

You must be able to use the sudo command or install under root privileges to complete the installation.

1.Install required packages for ESET PROTECT Server.

2.Configure the connection to MySQL server, as shown in the MySQL configuration topic.

3.Verify the configuration of the MySQL ODBC driver. See ODBC installation and configuration for more information.

4.Customize the installation parameters and execute the ESET PROTECT Server installation. See Server installation - Linux for more information.

5.Install the required Java and Tomcat packages and install the ESET PROTECT Web Console. If you experience problems with the HTTPS connection to the ESET PROTECT Web Console, see HTTPS/SSL connection setup.

6.Install ESET Management Agent on the server machine.
