Updating Offline

In highly secure environments where an internet connection is blocked or limited, it is possible to update virus bases and the scanning engine offline. You need to download updates to a computer connected to the internet, copy them to a USB drive or a network drive and then install them on another computer, which is not connected to the internet. The update procedure must be run from the command line.

To get updates

1.Run the following command on a computer connected to the internet:

$ drweb-ctl update --Path <path to a directory to store downloaded updates>

2.Copy the downloaded updates to a USB drive or a network drive.

3.Mount the network drive or the removable drive on the computer to be updated. If the updates are from the USB drive, run the following commands:

# mkdir /mnt/usb
# mount <path to the device> /mnt/usb

4.Install the updates with the following command:

$ drweb-ctl update --From /mnt/usb
