Preparing an archive with application databases in order to create an installation package with integrated databases

You can create an installation package for remote installation and include pre-downloaded application databases in it. This may be useful, for example, if you are installing the application on a device with the Astra Linux Special Edition operating system. If you are using an installation package with integrated databases, the application is installed with the databases already functional; in this case, you do not need to update the databases immediately after installation.

To create an archive with databases for installing the application:

  1. Install and perform the initial configuration of Kaspersky Endpoint Security on the device using the command line or using Kaspersky Security Center.
  2. Update the application databases. You can update the databases during the initial configuration of the application or after installation by running an Update task in the command line or an Update task in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console or Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
  3. Copy the contents of the /var/opt/kaspersky/kesl/private/updates/ directory to one of the following subdirectories, depending on the architecture of the operating system for which you are creating the installation package with integrated databases: /i386/, /x86_64/, or /arm64/.
  4. Place the directories with the databases into a kesl-bases.tgz archive, preserving the structure of nested directories. You can place only one subdirectory with databases for the required architecture of the operating system in the archive, or if you plan to create an installation package for installation on several operating systems with different architectures, you can place all the subdirectories with databases (/i386/, /x86_64/, or /arm64/) into a single archive for different architectures.

You can use the created archive with application databases when creating an installation package in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console or Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
