Installing Web Security components on Linux

1.	It is assumed you have already downloaded and started the Web Security Linux installer. If not, see Starting the Web Security Linux installer.

2.	If no Web security components have been installed on this machine:

a.	On the Introduction screen, click Next.

b.	On the Subscription Agreement screen, choose to accept the terms of the agreement and then click Next.

3.	If there are Web security components already installed on this machine, the Add Components screen appears.

Select Install additional components on this machine and then click Next.

6.	On the Installation Directory screen, accept the default installation path, or click Choose to specify another path, and then click Next.

The installation path must be absolute (not relative). The default installation path is: /opt/Websense/

The installer creates this directory if it does not exist.

Important  The full installation path must use only ASCII characters. Do not use extended ASCII or double-byte characters.

The installer compares the installation's system requirements with the machine's resources.

Insufficient disk space prompts an error message. The installer closes when you click OK.

Insufficient RAM prompts a warning message. The installation continues when you click OK. To ensure optimal performance, increase your memory to the recommended amount.

7.	On the Pre-Installation Summary screen, verify the information shown.

The summary shows the installation path and size, and the components to be installed.

8.	Click Next to start the installation. An Installing progress screen is displayed. Wait for the installation to complete.

 

Note  If you are using the command-line Linux installer, do not cancel (Ctrl-C) the installer after the Pre-Installation Summary screen, as it is installing components. In this case, allow the installation to complete and then uninstall the unwanted components.

9.	On the Installation Complete screen, click Done.
