Upgrading Trellix Agent 5.8.x on unmanaged Ubuntu systems

Prev Next

Generate a Debian package and upgrade Trellix Agent 5.8.x on an unmanaged Ubuntu system that is not managed by ePO - On-prem. This option is available only on version 4.8.0 to 5.x.x.

You must have root permissions to install Trellix Agent on the client system.

  1. Download Trellix Agent 5.x.x Update X package (such as MA564XLNX.zip) for Linux from the Software Catalog on ePO - On-prem where "X" is the update value of the package, for example, Trellix Agent 5.6.4 Update 1.

  2. Extract the following installer files to the client system.

    Important

    Trellix Agent has removed support for the mfert package from version 5.8.2.

    • mfema-<build_number>.i686.deb

    • mfema-<build_number>.x86_64.deb

    • mfert-<build_number>.i686.deb

    • DXL.zip file which contains the following installer files.

      • mfedx-ma-<build_number>.i686.deb

      • mfedx-ma-<build_number>.x86_64.deb

    Note

    Use the appropriate MFEma and MFEdx-ma-<build_number> packages based on the operating systems used. For example:

    • mfema-<build_number>.x86_64.deb and mfedx-ma-<build_number>.x86_64.deb for a 64-bit operating system

    • mfema-<build_number>.i686.deb and mfedx-ma-<build_number>.i686.deb for a 32-bit operating system.

  3. Open Terminal, then enter the path where you have extracted the installer files.

  4. Run the following commands:

    • For a 64-bit operating system:

      dpkg --install mfert-<build_number>.i686.deb
      dpkg --install mfema-<build_number>.x86_64.deb
      dpkg --install mfedx-ma-<build_number>.x86_64.deb
      
    • For a 32-bit operating system:

      dpkg --install mfert-<build_number>.i686.deb
      dpkg --install mfema-<build_number>.i686.deb
      dpkg --install mfedx-ma-<build_number>.i686.deb
