Installation through CLI

Complete the following CLI-based installation steps.
Prerequisites:
  • Download the agent installer - see steps in section Downloading the installer.
  • Place the installerConfig.json file (Provided by Forcepoint Technical Support??) in the same directory as the MSI file.
  • Admin Access: You must have administrative privileges on the endpoint machine to install the agent.

Steps

  1. Open PowerShell as Administrator: Search for PowerShell in the Windows search bar, right-click on it, and select Run as administrator.
  2. Install the Agent
    • PowerShell: Run the following command to start the installation. Replace {path_to_msi} with the actual path to your MSI file:

      Start-Process -Wait -ArgumentList "/qn" -PassThru -FilePath 'C:\Users\adm\Downloads\{path_to_msi}.msi'

      In this command:

      • Start-Process - Initiates the installation process.
      • -Wait - Forces the script to wait until the installation is complete.
      • -ArgumentList "/qn" - Runs the installer silently without a user interface.
      • -PassThru - Passes the process information back to the PowerShell, which can be useful for troubleshooting.
    • Command line: Use the following command to start the installation:

      msiexec /i "path_to_msi.msi"

  3. Check the Installation
    • Ensure the installation completes successfully by checking for the agent in the installed programs list or any designated log files.
