CHAPTER 3. INSTALLING THE
APPLICATION
Before installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus, you are advised to:
1. Make sure that your system meets the hardware and software
requirements (see section 1.1 on p. 6).
2. Log on to the system as root.
3. Make sure that your installed Squid proxy server supports ICAP.
Unlike Squid 3.0, Squid 2.5 does not support ICAP by default.
Please see the README-SQUID.txt file in the
/opt/kav/5.5/kav4proxy/share/doc/ directory for information
about available Squid distributions, correct compilation and
proxy configuration for ICAP support.
3.1. Installing the application on a
server running Linux
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for servers running the Linux operating system is
distributed in two different installation packages:
.rpm – for systems that support RPM Package Manager.
.deb – for Debian distributions.
To initiate installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus from the rpm package,
enter the following in the command line:
# rpm –i kav4proxy-linux-<version_number>.i386.rpm
To initiate installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus from the deb package,
enter the following in the command line:
# dpkg –I
