Getting Current Updates

After the installation of Dr.Web for Linux using any method described in the corresponding section, the package manager automatically connects to the Dr.Web package repository:

•If installation was performed from the universal package (file .run), and the system uses DEB packages (for example, such operating systems as Debian, Mint, Ubuntu), for operation with Dr.Web packages, an individual version of package managers zypper is used. It is automatically installed during Dr.Web for Linux installation.

To get and install the updated Dr.Web packages with this manager, go to the <opt_dir>/bin directory (/opt/drweb.com/bin for GNU/Linux), and run the following commands:

•In all other cases apply updating commands of the package manager used in your OS, for example:

▫For Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS, use the yum command

▫For Fedora, use the yum or dnf command

▫For SUSE Linux, use the zypper command

▫For Mageia or OpenMandriva Lx use the urpmi command

▫For ALT Linux, PCLinuxOS, Debian, Mint and Ubuntu use the apt-get command.

You can also use alternate package managers developed for your operating system. If necessary, refer to the instruction manual for the package manager you use.

If a new Dr.Web for Linux version is released, packages with its components are put into the section of the Dr.Web repository corresponding to the new product version. In this case, an update requires switching of the package manager to a new Dr.Web repository section (refer to Upgrading to a Newer Version).
