Next, the Installation directory is asked, if you have installed BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices on Linux, using the self-extracting archive. The default is /opt and we will assume you go for it. The installer will create the directory /opt/BitDefender-scanner, which will be the top-level directory on BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices, containing several sub-directories, such as doc, man, var, Plugins (which is the location of the engines) and program binaries and the configuration file. If the above-mentioned directory does not exist, you are asked whether the installer should create it, assuming the default yes. If you do not agree the directory to be created, the installer will stop.
From this moment, the installer has acquired all the necessary information and will begin the install process. Basically, it will install the engines, the binaries and the documentation and will make the post-install configuration. This is a short list of its actions on your system.
