Prerequisites

 

 

 

4.1.2. Software system requirements

Linux requirements

The Linux kernel should be 2.2, 2.4 or 2.6, the recommended one is 2.6, with support for a fast file system, which works well with multiple small files, such as ext3 or reiserfs.

BitDefender requires glibc version 2.3, at least, and libstdc++ from gcc 3.x series.

FreeBSD requirements

The supported FreeBSD versions are 5.3-RELEASE and greater and 6.0-RELEASE and greater.

FreeBSD 4 is no longer supported.

4.2. Package naming convention

BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices package is named considering the following scheme.

4.2.1. Linux convention

BitDefender-scanner-{ver}.{os}.{arch}.{pkg}

Variable

Description

{ver}

This is the package version. For example, 7.5-3 is version 7,

 

subversion 5, package build 3.

{os}

The operating system is Linux.

{arch}

The architecture contains the processor class and gcc compiler

 

version. i586 is the current development version.

{pkg}

This refers to the package management tool used to install the

 

files. This is one of rpm, deb or run. rpm uses the Red Hat

 

Package Manager, deb uses the Debian package system and

 

run is a self-extractable archive, the most portable method.

 

Please install the appropriate package for your system, as

 

described in the next chapters.
