Installing Trellix Agent 5.8.x on Red Hat Linux using a third-party tool

You can generate an RPM package and install Trellix Agent 5.8.x on Red Hat Linux systems using a third-party deployment tool such as YUM.

Create Trellix Agent installation package.
1. On the ePO - On-prem console, select Menu → Systems → System Tree, then select New Systems.
2. Select Create and download agent installation package.
3. Select the appropriate Trellix Agent version for Linux from the list.
4. Click OK. The agentPackages.zip installation package containing install.sh file is created.
5. Save the file.
Open Terminal, enter the path where you have saved the install.sh file.
Run the following command to check if the rpm-build package is installed on the local system.
```
rpm -q redhat-rpm-config
```
- If the rpm-build package is not installed on the local system, run the following command to install it.
```
yum install rpm-build
```
- If the unzip package is not installed on the local system, run the following command to install it.
```
yum install unzip
```
Generate the MAProvision.rpm file from install.sh using the option (-p). Run the following command by giving root credentials.
```
./install.sh -p
```
The MAProvision.rpm file is generated.
Note
You can add the RelayServer information such as IP address or port information in the Trellix Agent provisioning package. This helps to communicate with ePO - On-prem in isolated networks where direct communication with on-prem ePO is not allowed (even the first Agent-server communication). Trellix Agent approves the policies configured in ePO - On-prem after completing the first ASCI via relay IP. Run the command, giving root credentials when requested. For example:
```
./install.sh -p -R '<relayIP1>:<relayPort1>'
```
Create MFEma.rpm and MFErt.rpm files by executing one of the following:
1. Create files using install.sh file.
  1. Copy the install.sh file to a Red Hat Linux system.
  2. Open Terminal, enter the path where you have saved the install.sh file.
  3. Run the following command to extract the installation package.
```
unzip install.sh
```
  4. The following installation files are extracted.
    MFEma.i686.rpm
    MFEma.x86_64.rpm
    MFErt.i686.rpm
    Note
    Use an appropriate MFEma installation package based on the operating systems used.
    MFEma.x86_64.rpm for a 64-bit operating system
    MFEma.i686.rpm for a 32-bit operating system.
2. Create files from the ePO - On-prem Main Repository.
  These files are available in the selected repository path. If the files are checked in to the current branch of the ePO - On-premsoftware repository, the path of the required files is,
  - For ePO - On-prem 5.10.0 Service Pack 1 or later, the default location of the installation package file is: C:\Program Files\Trellix\ePolicy Orchestrator\DB\Software\Current\EPOAGENT3700LYNX\Install\0409.
  - For ePO - On-prem 5.10.0 or earlier, the default location of this installation package file is: C:\Program Files\McAfee\ePolicy Orchestrator\DB\Software\Current\EPOAGENT3700LYNX\Install\0409.
  You can change the file path based on the branch selected.
Create the MFEdx-ma-<build_number>.rpm file:
1. Save the DXL.zip file to a Red Hat Linux system.
  The DXL.zip file is available in the selected repository path. If the files are checked in to the current branch of the ePO - On-prem software repository, the path of the required files is,
  - For ePO - On-prem 5.10.0 Service Pack 1 or later, the default location of the installation package file is: C:\Program Files\Trellix\ePolicy Orchestrator\DB\Software\Current\EPOAGENT3700LYNX\Install\0409.
  - For ePO - On-prem 5.10.0 or earlier, the default location of this installation package file is: C:\Program Files\McAfee\ePolicy Orchestrator\DB\Software\Current\EPOAGENT3700LYNX\Install\0409.
  You can change the file path based on the branch selected.
2. Open Terminal, enter the path where you have saved the DXL.zip file.
3. Run the following command to extract the installation package.
```
unzip DXL.zip
```
4. The following installation files are extracted.
  - MFEdx-ma-<build_number>.x86_64.rpm
  - MFEdx-ma-<build_number>.i686.rpm
  Note
  Use an appropriate MFEdx-ma-<build_number> package based on the operating systems used.
  - MFEdx-ma-<build_number>.x86_64.rpm for a 64-bit operating system.
  - MFEdx-ma-<build_number>.i686.rpm for a 32-bit operating system.
Check in the MAProvision.rpm, MFEma.rpm, MFErt.rpm, and MFEdx-ma-<build_number>.rpm files into a third-party deployment tool (such as YUM) repository.
Deploy Trellix Agent in managed mode using the third-party software such as, yum install MAProvision.rpm.
