Required Additional Components and Packages

To enable Dr.Web Industrial for Linux operation in graphical mode, X Window System graphic shell and any window manager is required. Moreover, for correct operation of the indicator for Ubuntu Unity desktop environment, the additional library may be required (by default, the library named libappindicator1 is required).

To start the installer or uninstaller, designed for the command line, in graphical mode, a terminal emulator (such as xterm, xvt, and so on) is required.

For convenient work with Dr.Web Industrial for Linux in the command line, you can enable command auto-completion in your command shell (if disabled).

 

If you encounter any problem with installation of additional packages and components, refer to manuals for your distribution of the operating system.

Compatibility with Components of Operating Systems

SpIDer Guard uses the fanotify system mechanism.

SpIDer Guard can operate in the enhanced (Paranoid) mode, which blocks access to the files that have not been scanned yet, only via fanotify and providing that an OS kernel is built with the enabled CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS option.

Compatibility with Security Subsystems

By default, Dr.Web Industrial for Linux does not support SELinux. In addition, Dr.Web Industrial for Linux operates in reduced functionality mode in the GNU/Linux systems that use mandatory access models (for example, in systems supplied with the PARSEC mandatory access subsystem that appends different privilege levels to users and files).

To install Dr.Web Industrial for Linux on systems with SELinux (as well as systems that use mandatory access control models), you may require to configure a security subsystem, so that Dr.Web Industrial for Linux operates in full functionality mode. For details, refer to the section Configuring Security Subsystems.
