Installation and Uninstallation

Below you can find detailed description of Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers installation, update and uninstallation procedures in UNIX systems. You need superuser (root) privileges to perform these operations. To get it, use the su command or sudo prefix.

If previously the product was installed from packages of other formats (for example, RPM or DEB), ensure that they are carefully uninstalled.

Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers distribution package for UNIX systems is delivered in EPM format (script-based distribution package with installation and uninstallation scripts and standard install/uninstall GUIs) designed to use with ESP Package Manager (EPM). Please note that all these scripts relate to the EPM package, not to any of the Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers components.

You can install, deinstall, and update Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers in one of the following ways:

•using GUI;

•using console scripts.

During installation, dependencies are supported, that is if a component installation requires other components to be installed in the system (for example, drweb-daemon package requires drweb-common and drweb-bases packages), they will be installed automatically.

To avoid such problems, you can configure the Dr.Web Samba VFS SpIDer source codes after Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers installation and manually enable support for all required options, including CLUSTER_SUPPORT. Once you finish configuring the source codes, compile Dr.Web Samba VFS SpIDer.

To check, whether the installed Samba includes the CLUSTER_SUPPORT option, use the following command:

smbd -b | grep CLUSTER_SUPPORT

If you install Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers to a computer where other Dr.Web products have been previously installed from EPM packages, then at every attempt to remove a module via graphical installer you will be prompted to remove absolutely all Dr.Web modules, including those from other products.
