Installation steps (F-Secure)

1. 1. Download the scan node installation package

Using an installation package with automatically applied license information:

1. 1. In the Elements Security Center, go to the Scan nodes page and select New scan node.
   2. Select Request a new scan node.
   3. Enter a name and description for the scan node, then select Request.

The resulting page includes the download link and basic instructions. The license information included in the installation package is valid for 14 days. You do not need to apply the license manually when you use this type of installation package, although an internet connection is required during installation. If you encounter any issues when applying the license, follow the steps given for applying it manually.

Using an installation package for manually applied license information:

1. 1. Download the scan node installation package from https://updates-api.radar.f-secure.com/api/1.1/ProductUpdates/Components/ScanNodeAgent/Releases/4.0.0.0/Download.

Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the installation package:

wget -P ~ –content-disposition
https://updates-api.radar.f-secure.com/api/1.1/ProductUpdates/Components/ScanNodeAgent/Releases/4.0.0.0/Download

1. 1. In the Elements Security Center, go to the Scan nodes page and select New scan node.
   2. Select Request a new scan node.
   3. Enter a name and description for the scan node, then select Request.
   4. Copy the URL under Download scan node license to the clipboard.

The URL is valid for 14 days and should have the following format: https://updates-api.radar.f-secure.com/api/2.9/organizations/productLicenses/order?token=2Ub3Tfd(….).

1. 1. Use the following command to download the license file to your Linux system, replacing <URL> with the URL that you copied from the Elements Security Center:

wget -O ~/license.fsrl <URL>

1. 1. If you need to use a proxy server for communication with external networks, set the FSECURE_HTTP_PROXY_HOST and FSECURE_HTTP_PROXY_PORT environment variables.

These settings are used both for normal scan node operations and for maintenance purposes (installing and updating the scan node).

1. 1. Run the following commands to set the variables using the /etc/environment file:

echo “FSECURE_HTTP_PROXY_HOST=www.proxy.example.com” | sudo tee -a /etc/environment
echo “FSECURE_HTTP_PROXY_PORT=8080” | sudo tee -a /etc/environment

1. Log out for the changes to take effect and then log in again.

1. 1. Run the following commands to install the prerequisites:

      Note: Replace 18.04 with 16.04 if you are deploying the scan node on an older version of Ubuntu. For more information, see https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/linux-package-manager/ubuntu16-04/runtime-2.2.0.

wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt install ./packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt update

1. 1. Run the following command to install the Radar Scan Node Agent:

sudo apt install ./f-secure-radar-scannodeagent-installer_<version>_amd64.deb

Replace <version> with the version number for the agent that you want to install.

The installation directory is /opt/fsecure/radar-scannodeagent. The Linux daemon (service) name is f-secure-radar-scannodeagent.

If this is the very first installation, you are asked to provide a license file (.fsrl).

After successful installation, verify that everything works as intended.
