Chapter 5. Package installation

This chapter will explain you how to install BitDefender on a Unix-like system, such as Linux or FreeBSD. This is pretty straightforward: get the desired package, test it for integrity, then install it.

5.1. Getting BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices

The package can be downloaded from BitDefender servers or it can be found on different distribution media, such as CD-ROM. When downloading for the BitDefender servers, you will be asked to fill in a form and you will receive an email to the address you have provided in this form. The email contains the download location.

The Linux package come in three flavours.

•rpm for distributions using the RedHat Linux package management

•deb for distributions using Debian Linux packaging system

•run, a self-extractable archive, suited for any other distribution

The FreeBSD package is a tbz (.tar.bz) compressed archive, adequate for the versions 5 and 6.

5.2. Test the package for integrity

Before you begin the installation process we recommend you to check the installation kit is not corrupted (this can happen sometimes, especially if you downloaded it).

5.2.1. Test the rpm and deb packages

For an increased security, the rpm and deb packages are GPG signed. To test the packages integrity, you can verify their signature.

First, you need to fetch the BitDefender Packages GPG key (key id: 0x0EC4FE05) from a key server, running the following command.

# gpg --recv0x0EC4FE05 --keyserverhttp://pgp.mit.edu
