Installing from Repository

Top  Previous  Next

Dr.Web for Linux’s native packages are stored in the Dr.Web official repository at https://repo.drweb.com. Once you have added the Dr.Web repository to the list of those used by your operating system’s package manager, you can install the product from native packages as you install any other programs from the operating system’s repositories. Required dependencies are automatically resolved. Besides, this case supports a detection procedure by an OS package manager of all Dr.Web components installed from the connected repository. It also supports a suggestion to install all detected updates.

To access Dr.Web repository, Internet access is required.

 

All the commands mentioned below—the commands used to add repositories, to import digital signature keys, to install and uninstall packages—must be performed with administrative privileges (by the root user). To elevate the privileges, use the su command (to change the current user) or the sudo command (to execute the specified command with another user’s privileges).

Debian, Mint, Ubuntu (apt)

The Dr.Web for Linux anti-virus engine uses a 32-bit architecture x86; in 64-bit systems Debian, Mint, Ubuntu (for platforms x86-64, x64, amd64), a permission could be required for installation of packages for the platform x86. It could be obtained via the following command:

# dpkg --add-architecture i386

1. The repository for these operating systems is digitally signed by Doctor Web. To access the repository, import and add to the package manager storage the digital signature key via execution of the following command:

# apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 10100609
