To reinstall a component, you can uninstall it first and then install again.

Typical Component Sets for Custom Installation

If you need to install Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite with limited functionality, you can install only component packages that provide the necessary functionality instead of installing a root meta-package from the repository or from the universal package. The packages required to resolve dependencies will be automatically installed. The table below displays component sets designed to resolve typical Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite tasks. The Packages for Installation column lists packages required for installation to obtain the specified component set.

Installation and Uninstallation of Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite Components Installed from a Repository

If Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite is installed from a repository, to install or uninstall a component, use a respective command of the package manager of your OS, for example:

1.To remove the Dr.Web Network Checker component (the drweb-netcheck package) from Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite installed on CentOS, use the command:

# yum remove drweb-netcheck

2.To add the Dr.Web Network Checker component (the drweb-netcheck package) to Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite installed on Ubuntu, use the command:

# apt-get install drweb-netcheck

If necessary, use help on the package manager of your OS.

Installation and Uninstallation of Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite Components Installed from a Universal Package

If Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite is installed from a universal package and you want to additionally install or reinstall a package of a component, you will need an installation file (with the .run extension) that was used to install Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite. If you do not have this file anymore, download it from the Doctor Web company website.

Unpacking the Installation File

When you start the .run file, you can specify the following command-line parameters:

--noexec—unpack Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite installation files instead of starting the installation process;

--keep—do not delete Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite installation files and the installation log after the installation;

--target <directory>—unpack Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite installation files to the specified <directory>.

To get a full list of command-line parameters that can be used with the installation file, run the command:

$ ./<.run file name> --help

For custom installation of Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite components, unpack the contents of the installation file. To do that, run the command:

$ ./<.run file name> --noexec --target <directory>

Custom Installation of Components

The .run installation file contains packages of all Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite components (in the RPM format) and auxiliary files. Package files of each component are named as follows:

<component_name>_<version>~linux_<platform>.rpm

where <version> is a string that contains the version and date of a package release, and <platform> is a platform to run Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite. Names of all Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite component packages start with the drweb prefix.

The installation kit includes the zypper package manager intended for the installation of packages. For custom installation, use the installpkg.sh service script. To do that, firstly unpack the contents of the installation package to any writeable directory.

To install packages, superuser (usually the root user) privileges are required. To gain superuser privileges, use the su command to change the current user or the sudo command to run the specified command as another user.

To install a component package, go to the directory containing the unpacked installation file and run the command from the command line or from a terminal emulator:

# ./scripts/installpkg.sh <package_name>

For example:

# ./scripts/installpkg.sh drweb-netcheck

If it is necessary to install Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite in full, start the installation script by running the command:

$ ./install.sh

Furthermore, you can install all Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite packages (among other things, to install missing or accidentally removed components) by starting the installation of the root meta-package:

# ./scripts/installpkg.sh drweb-workstations

Custom Uninstallation of Components

If your OS uses RPM packages, to uninstall a package of a component, use the corresponding uninstallation command of the package manager of your OS:

on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS, use the yum remove <package_name> command;

on Fedora, use the yum remove <package_name> or dnf remove <package_name> command;

on SUSE Linux, use the zypper remove <package_name> command;

on Mageia or OpenMandriva Lx, use the urpme <package_name> command;

on ALT, use the apt-get remove <package_name> command.

For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

# yum remove drweb-netcheck

If your OS uses DEB packages, or there is no package manager in your system, for the custom uninstallation, use the zypper package manager supplied with Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite. To do that, go to the directory /opt/drweb.com/bin and run the command:

# ./zypper remove <package_name>

For example:

# ./zypper remove drweb-netcheck

If you want to uninstall Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite, start the uninstallation script by running the command:

# ./uninst.sh

To reinstall a component, you can uninstall it first and then install again by starting custom or full installation.
