5.3. Install the package
The installation process depends on the package type. There are different methods
for rpm, deb and self-extractable archive, as well as a typical method for FreeBSD.
5.3.1. Install the rpm package
To install BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices on a RedHat based distribution,
using the RedHat package manager, you have to run the following command.
# rpm -i BitDefender-scanner-{ver}.{os}.{arch}.rpm
5.3.2. Install the deb package
To install BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices on a Debian based distribution,
using dpkg, you have to run the following command.
# dpkg -i BitDefender-scanner-{ver}.{os}.{arch}.deb
5.3.3. Install the self-extractable archive
The self-extractable archive is a package containing all the required files for the
installation. It acts as a shell script (you can open itwith a text editor) and can be given
several parameters in the command line. Usually, for a normal installation, there are
no parameters required, simply run the script.
Run the self-extractable archive
This package should be installed using the following command.
# ./BitDefender-scanner-{ver}.{os}.{arch}.run
This will unpack the BitDefender files (engines, core, etc.), the install and uninstall
scripts, and will launch the installer, which, in turn, will install all the provided
BitDefender components, as described in the next section.
