To install the Linux agent for Endpoint Secure, you can follow these steps:

Ensure the Linux endpoint can ping the manager’s IP address and that you have root account access for installation.

For small-scale deployment, the common method is command line deployment:

From the Endpoint Secure console, copy the command line installation command.
On the Linux endpoint, run the command:
wget --no-check-certificate https://manager_IP:4430/download_installer_linux.php -O linux_aes_installer.tar.gz && tar -xzvf linux_aes_installer.tar.gz && ./agent_installer.sh -c
This will download, extract, and install the agent.

Alternatively, you can manually download the full installation package from the community, upload it to the Linux endpoint, decompress it, and run the installation script. For example:

Download the full package from the community download link.
Upload the package to the Linux endpoint.
Run:
tar -xzvf linux_AthenaEPP.tar.gz
./agent_installer.sh
Wait for the installation to complete, after which the agent will connect to the manager automatically.
For large-scale deployments, you can use Linux tool batch deployment or virtual machine template deployment.

During installation, basic Linux command tools such as grep, iptables, wget, tar, etc., should be installed on the system.

The installation package can be placed in any directory on the Linux system; there is no specific requirement.

After installation, you can delete the installation package file if desired.

If you want to install the agent in a custom directory, you can specify it using the command:

./agent_installer.sh -h <manager_IP> -p <port> -d <install_path> -f
replacing <manager_IP>, <port>, and <install_path> with your actual values.

Note that the Linux system must maintain communication with the Endpoint Secure manager on TCP ports 4430, 54120, 8083, and support ping.

These steps cover the main methods and considerations for installing the Linux agent

Log in to the EPP Management Console
Navigate to System Settings → Agent Deployment.
Obtain the Linux Installation Command
Select Agent Installation via Command Line and click View Details.
Copy the installation command generated by the EPP Manager.
Connect to the Linux Server
Use SSH to log in as a root user or a user with sudo privileges:

ssh root@<server_ip>

Run the Installation Command

Paste and execute the command provided by the EPP Manager.

The command will automatically download and install the EPP agent.

wget <agent_download_url>
chmod +x agent_installer.sh
./agent_installer.sh

Note: The actual command will be generated by your EPP Manager.
Verify the Agent Status
Check whether the agent service is running

systemctl status sangfor-agent

Or

ps -ef | grep agent
Confirm Registration in the EPP Console
After installation, the Linux server should automatically appear in the Endpoints section of the EPP Management Console.
Prerequisites
Network connectivity between the Linux server and the EPP Manager.
Required firewall ports are open.
Root or sudo privileges are available.
The Linux distribution is supported by the EPP version being used.

1. Download the Linux agent package

From the Endpoint Secure Manager:

System → Agent Deployment → Agent Download → Linux → Manual Installation and download the installer package.

2. Copy the package to the Linux server

For example:

scp linux_aes_installer.tar.gz root@server:/tmp/
3. Extract the installer
cd /tmp
tar -xzvf linux_aes_installer.tar.gz
4. Run the installer
chmod +x agent_installer.sh
sudo ./agent_installer.sh

The agent should install and automatically connect to the Endpoint Secure Manager.

Alternative: Command-line deployment

Sangfor also allows you to copy a pre-generated installation command from:

System → Agent Deployment → Agent Download → Linux → Agent Installation via Command Line

and run that command directly on the server.

Offline installation

If the server cannot download components from the Manager:

tar -zxvf <installer_name>

dos2unix agent_installer.sh

./agent_installer.sh -o -h <Manager_IP> -p 4430

Where:

-o = offline installation
-h = Endpoint Secure Manager IP
-p = Manager communication port (default 4430)
Verify installation

Check whether the Sangfor agent service is running:

ps -ef | grep -i sangfor

or

systemctl status sangfor*

(depending on your Linux distribution and agent version).
