Agent installation package contents

The agent software installation images are .cms files for Windows, Mac, and Linux. After uploading an agent installation image to the Endpoint Security (HX) server, the server generates an installation package and list the package on the Agent Versions page in the Endpoint Security (HX) Web UI. From the Agent Settings page, you can deploy and install an agent installation package on your endpoints.

Note

Only Endpoint Security (HX) software version 25 or later can run on Linux platforms.

The agent installation package is a .zip file (Windows), a .dmg file (macOS), or a .tgz file (Linux).

The Windows .zip file includes the agent installer file (.msi) and the agent configuration file (
```
agent_config.json
```
).
The macOS .dmg file includes the agent installer file(.mpkg) file and the agent configuration file (agent_config.json).
The Linux .tgz file includes the .rpm, .deb, and agent software installation files that map to specific Linux operating system versions and the agent configuration file (agent_config.json). See Manually Installing Agent Software on Linux Endpoints for more information.

The agent configuration file (agent_config.json) specifies TrellixEndpoint Security (HX) server settings for the agent. Generally, both the agent installer file and the agent configuration file must be in the same folder on any machines on which you want to install the Endpoint Security Agent (HX). However, you can use the CONFJSONDIR installation option to specify an alternate location for the configuration file.
