Upgrade Linux systems running Host Intrusion Prevention version 8.0 patch 10 or later to Trellix ENS for Linux Threat Prevention 10.7.16.

When upgrading systems running with Trellix ENS for Linux 10.2.x, where Host Intrusion Prevention software is already installed, Trellix ENS for Linux Threat Prevention 10.7.16 gets installed with Access Protection. Here, Host Intrusion Prevention is uninstalled during the upgrade.

  1. Log on to the system as a user with administrator rights.

  2. Download McAfeeTP-<version_number>-<build_number>-Release-standalone.tar.gz to a temporary directory on your computer.

  3. Extract the package.

    tar -zxvf McAfeeTP-<version_number>-<build_number>-Release-standalone.tar.gz

  4. Run the command from the directory where you downloaded the software.

    ./install-mfetp.sh

    Note

    After you upgrade to Trellix ENS for Linux Threat Prevention 10.7.16 on systems where Host Intrusion Prevention already installed, you must restart the system.
