Post-installation configuration of the application in interactive mode

This section describes the process of performing the initial configuration of the application interactively.

Selecting the locale

At this step, the application displays the list of supported locale identifiers in RFC 3066 format.

Specify the locale in the format as identified in this list. This locale will be used when displaying the texts of the End User License Agreement, the Privacy Policy and the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.

The locale of the application interface and the command line interface depends on the value of the LANG environment variable. If a locale that is not supported by the Kaspersky application is specified in the LANG environment variable, the application interface and the command line interface are displayed in English.

Viewing the End User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy

At this step, read the End User License Agreement concluded between you and Kaspersky, and the Privacy Policy describing the handling and transmission of data.

Accepting the End User License Agreement

At this step, you must either accept or decline the terms of the End User License Agreement.

After exiting viewing mode, enter one of the following values:

• yes (or y), if you accept the terms of the End User License Agreement.
• no (or n), if you do not accept the terms of the End User License Agreement.

If you do not accept the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement, the installation process of the Kaspersky application is aborted.

Accepting the Privacy Policy

At this step, you must either accept or decline the terms of the Privacy Policy.

After exiting viewing mode, enter one of the following values:

• yes (or y), if you accept the terms of the Privacy Policy.
• no (or n), if you do not accept the terms of the Privacy Policy.

If you do not accept the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy, the installation process of the Kaspersky application is aborted.

Using Kaspersky Security Network

At this step, you must either accept or decline the terms of use of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement. The file ksn_license.<language ID> containing the text of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement is located in the /opt/kaspersky/kfl/doc/ directory.

Enter one of the following values:

• yes (or y), if you accept the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.

  Use of Kaspersky Security Network will be enabled.

• no (or n), if you do not accept the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.

  Use of Kaspersky Security Network will be disabled.

We recommend selecting yes (or y).

Refusal to accept the terms and conditions of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement does not abort the initial configuration of the Kaspersky application. You can enable or disable the use of Kaspersky Security Network at any time.

Removing users from the privileged group

This step is displayed only if users are found in the kfladmin group.

At this step, specify whether or not to remove users from the kfladmin privileged group. Users included in the kfladmin group get privileged access to the functionality of the application.

Enter yes to remove all detected users from the kfladmin group. Users whose primary group is kfladmin are moved to the nogroup group. If there is no nogroup group, the installation will fail and you will be prompted to manually remove users from privileged groups.

Enter no if you do not want the application to remove users from the privileged group.

Assigning the Administrator role to a user

At this step, you can grant the administrator (admin) role to the user.

Enter the name of the user to whom you want to grant the administrator role. You need the Administrator role to manage application settings and task settings in the graphical interface of the application and on the command line without using the sudo command.

You can grant the administrator role to the user later at any time.

Determining the file operation interceptor type

At this step, the file operation interceptor type for the utilized operating system is determined. For operating systems that do not support fanotify technology, kernel module compilation will begin.

If all the required packages are available, the kernel module will be automatically compiled when the File Threat Protection task starts.

If, during the compilation of the kernel module, any dependencies are not found on the device, the Kaspersky application suggests installing the relevant packages. If the package download fails, an error message will be displayed.

Enabling automatic configuration of SELinux

This step is displayed only if SELinux is installed on your operating system.

At this step, you can enable automatic configuration of SELinux for working with the Kaspersky application.

Enter yes to enable automatic configuration of SELinux. If SELinux cannot be configured automatically, the application displays an error message and prompts the user to configure SELinux manually.

Enter no if you do not want the application to automatically configure SELinux.

By default, the application suggests yes.

If necessary, you can manually configure SELinux to work with the application later, after the initial configuration of the Kaspersky application is complete.

Configuring the update source

At this step, specify the update sources for databases and application modules.

Enter one of the following values:

• KLServers: the application receives updates from one of the Kaspersky update servers.
• <URL>: the application downloads updates from a custom source. You can specify the address of the custom source of updates in the local area network or on the Internet.
• <path> – the application receives updates from the specified directory.

Configuring proxy server settings

At this step, you must specify the proxy server settings if you are using a proxy server to access the Internet. Internet connection is required to download the application databases from the update servers.

To configure proxy server settings, perform one of the following actions:

• If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, specify the address of the proxy server using one of the following formats:
  • <IP address of the proxy server>:<port number>, if the proxy server connection does not require authentication;
  • <user name>:<password>@<IP address of the proxy server>:<port number>, if the proxy server connection requires authentication.

    When connecting via an HTTP proxy, we recommend to use a separate account that is not used to sign in to other systems. An HTTP proxy uses an insecure connection, and the account may be compromised.

• If you do not use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, enter no as your answer.

By default, the application suggests no.

You can configure the proxy server settings later, without using the post-installation configuration script.

Starting an application database update

At this step, you can run the application database update task on the device. The application databases contain descriptions of the threat signatures and methods of countering them. The application uses these records when searching and neutralizing threats. Kaspersky virus analysts regularly add new records about threats.

If you do not want to start to download the application databases, enter no.

If you want to start the database update task on the device, enter yes.

By default, the application suggests yes.

If yes is selected, the application will be automatically restarted after the databases are updated.

The Kaspersky application protects the device only after the application databases are updated.

You can start the Update task later without using the initial configuration script.

Enabling automatic application database update

At this step, you can enable automatic update of the application databases.

Enter yes to enable automatic application database update. By default, the application checks for available database updates every 60 minutes. If updates are available, the application downloads the updated databases.

Enter no if you do not want the application to automatically update the databases.

You can enable automatic database update later without using the post-installation configuration by configuring the update task schedule.

Application activation

At this step, you can activate the application.

To activate the application, you need to enter an activation code.

You can copy the activation code from your My Kaspersky account, from the activation card or from the box with the installation disk.

You can activate the application later without using the initial configuration script.
