Linux: Downloading and Deploying The Linux Agent
The Agent Deployment
The Agent installer link is created dynamically when downloaded. Once the agent is downloaded, it is available from "Settings & Reporting" -> "Deployment Management".
From this section, basic agent parameters can be configured by clicking the "Linux Agent Settings " button.

Once the settings are defined, click the "Save" button, and the system will redirect to the download page. Click the "Download Service Installer" button to download the agent.
It will redirect to a new tab, where a wget command is used to install and apply the agent's installation script. Please execute it on the servers and clients to install the agent.
wget --no-check-certificate -O ./script.sh "https://portal.cloudcyte.com/functions/<generated value>" && chmod +rwx ./script.sh && ./script.sh
Once the download button is clicked, it is created and signed.
Note 1: Because of its nature, some EDRs or AV solutions may consider this installer file malicious. Please whitelist this file on your endpoint security products. Also, the services and processes below are deployed. It is recommended that you whitelist them.

Installation of Agent
After using the wget command, run the command at the endpoints to install the agent.
After installing the agent, it automatically registers to the system.
Checking Installation
After the agent is installed, it registers itself automatically with the Server. Please go to "Asset Management" -> "Endpoint Management" to see the agents. The device may take a couple of minutes to appear on this screen.
Agents should be able to access CyberCyte Server on Port 443 and https://download.cloudcyte.com websites. If the agent is not shown here, please check access to the portal on the client first. If the entry is successful, please wait for communication interval settings.
Adding Necessary Policies and Endpoints to the Linux Servers Group
Once the agents are created in Endpoint Management, add them to the Linux Servers Group. Please navigate to "Rules & Policies" -> "Policy Management". Then, add the policy as in Figure 5. In some cases, you need to create the policy for this, following Figure 6. Finally, add the endpoint with a Linux-based Operating System (Figure 6). After a while, you will see the data from these endpoints.
