Using the debian file to manually upgrade agent software

Open a Terminal session on the Linux endpoint that has the agent installation .tgz package.

username@localhost:~$

Use the cd command to change to the Trellix directory you created in step 6 of Downloading a Linux agent installation package from the Web UI.

username@localhost:~$ cd desktop

username@localhost:~/Desktop$ cd Trellix

Use the ls command to verify that the IMAGE_HX_AGENT_LINUX_[xAgent version].tgz file is in the Trellix directory.

username@localhost:~/Desktop/Trellix$ ls

IMAGE_HX_AGENT_LINUX_[xAgent version].tgz

Use the tar zxf command to unzip and extract the files from the Linux agent installation package:

username@localhost:~/Desktop/Trellix$ tar zxf IMAGE_HX_AGENT_LINUX_[xAgent version].tgz.

The .tgz package (Linux) includes the following files:

Use the ls command to view the files.

username@localhost:~/Desktop/Trellix$ ls

You will see a list of all the files in the agent installation package.

Use the dpkg, medium-level package manager for Debian and the -i option to run the .deb script and upgrade the agent software on your Linux endpoint. You must have sudo access to run this command:

username@localhost:~/Desktop/Trellix$ sudo dpkg -i xagt-[xAgent version]-1.ubuntu12_amd64.deb
