Installing the McAfee Agent

The installation procedure for the McAfee Agent varies depending on:

• The operating system in use — Windows, Solaris, HB-UX, Macintosh, or Linux.

• The type of installation — First-time installation or upgrade on a system already hosting an

agent.

• The tools used to install — ePolicy Orchestrator native tools, login scripts, images, or none.

This section provides instructions on installing the agent in a variety of environments.

Methods of agent deployment and installation

The terms

deployment

and

installation

both describe the process of equipping one or more

computers with the McAfee Agent. However, there is a difference:

•

Installation

means placing the agent on a computer where no agent is present. Administrator

privileges are required to install the agent.

•

Deployment

means placing the agent, or managed products and their upgrades, on one or

more computers where an agent is already present.

If you are operating in a Windows environment, you can push install or update the agent directly

from the ePO console. Alternatively, you can copy the agent installation package onto removable

media or into a network share for manual or login script installation on your Windows systems.

However, you cannot push the installation package to UNIX-based systems. Here, the agent

must be installed manually using an installation script (install.sh) that ePO creates when you

check in the agent to the ePO master repository and indicate the operating system in use. Once

the agent is in place on the client computers, you can run an agent deployment task to schedule

updates to the agent as well as deploy products for management by ePO.

NOTE: The procedure described for agent installation on UNIX-based systems can be used in

Windows environments as well, if preferred

This table lists methods for installing and deploying the agent. The first three methods are

installing the agent and might require the use of embedded credentials. The remaining five

methods are deploying the agent and do not require embedded credentials.

Installing the agent

The network administrator installs the

agent on each managed system

individually.

Manually

• Aside from using third-party

deployment products, this is the

only method available for the

initial installation on UNIX

systems.

• Once the agent is installed, you

can use ePolicy Orchestrator to
