Installation manual

4. Installation

After purchasing ESET File Security, you will receive your authorization data (Username, Password and license key). These

credentials identify you as an ESET customer, and are required to download updates for ESET File Security. The Username/

Password data is also required for downloading the initial installation package from our web site. ESET File Security is

distributed as a binary file:

esets.arch.ext.bin

In the binary file shown above, ‘ext’ is a Linux, BSD and Solaris OS distribution dependent suffix, i.e., ‘deb’ for Debian, ‘rpm’ for

RedHat and SuSE, ‘tgz’ for other Linux OS distributions, ‘fbs7.tgz’ for FreeBSD 7.x, ‘fbs8.tgz’ for FreeBSD 8.x, ‘nbs4.tgz’ for NetBSD

4.xx and ‘sol10.pkg.gz‘ for Solaris 10.

The ‘arch’ value represents a computer architecture, either ‘i386’ for 32-bit OS distributions or ‘amd64’, ‘x86_64’ for 64-bit.

To install or upgrade your product, run the ESET distribution script appropriate for the OS distribution and architecture that you

have:

sh ./esets.i386.deb.bin

sh ./esets.i386.fbs8.tgz.bin

sh ./esets.amd64.deb.bin

sh ./esets.x86_64.rpm.bin

Once you accept the product License Agreement, you will be prompted to enable or disable the Samples submission system

during the installation.
