Installing components on Linux

Before installing components on a supported Linux server, make sure that you have prepared the machine (including downloading and extracting the installer files) as described in Prepare your Linux servers.

1. Log on to the installation machine with full administrative privileges (typically, root).
2. Launch the installer using the following command (from the setup directory):

   ./install.sh -g

   This launches a GUI-based installer and is available on English versions of Linux only. A text-only, command-line version can be launched by omitting the -g switch:

   ./install.sh

3. On the Introduction screen, click or select Next.
4. On the Subscription Agreement screen, choose to accept the terms of the agreement and then click Next.
5. On the Installation Type screen, select Custom and then click or select Next.
6. On the Select Components screen, select the components that you want to install:
   • Policy Server must always be installed before or with its dependent components.

     You will be prompted to provide the Policy Server IP address during installation of most components if Policy Server resides on a different machine.

   • Filtering Service must always be installed before or with dependent instances of Network Agent.

     You will be prompted for the Filtering Service IP address during Network Agent installation if Filtering Service resides on another machine.

   • Each time you install a Filtering Service instance, select Content Gateway as the integration product.

     When you install Content Gateway, you will be prompted for a Policy Server IP address and a Filtering Service IP address.

   • Unlike the primary or standalone Policy Broker, which must always be installed first, replica Policy Brokers may be added at any time.

     You can configure which Policy Broker instance any Policy Server (and its dependent components) connects to after installation (use the Settings > General > Policy Brokers page in the Forcepoint Security Manager).

7. Click or select Next to configure your installation.

   Many of the screens that display depend on which components you have selected. If you are not clear about what information to provide, click or select Help in the installer for context and instructions.

8. On the Installation Directory screen, accept the default installation path (/opt/Websense/), or click or select Choose to specify another path. The installation path:
   • Must be absolute (not relative)
   • Must use only ASCII characters (no extended ASCII or double-byte characters)

   When you are finished, click or select Next.

   The installer creates the installation directory if it does not exist and compares the installation’s system requirements with the machine’s resources.

   • Insufficient disk space prompts an error message. The installer closes when you click or select OK.
   • Insufficient RAM prompts a warning message. The installation continues when you click or select OK. To ensure optimal performance, increase your memory to the recommended amount.
9. On the Pre-Installation Summary screen, verify the installation path, selected components, and other information, then click or select Next.

   A progress screen is displayed while components are installed.

   Note: Do not click the Cancel button (GUI) or press Ctrl-C (command-line) after the Pre-Installation Summary, as it is installing components. In this case, allow the installation to complete and then uninstall the unwanted components.
10. On the Installation Complete screen, click or select Done. (In the graphical installer, be careful not to click Cancel.)
