Required Additional Components and Packages
•To enable Dr.Web Industrial for Linux operation in graphical mode, the X Window System graphics subsystem and any window manager are required. Moreover, the correct operation of the indicator in the Ubuntu Unity desktop environment may depend on an additional library (by default, the libappindicator1 library is required).
•To start the installer or uninstaller designed for the command line in the graphical mode, a terminal emulator (such as xterm or xvt) is required.
•To elevate privileges during installation or uninstallation, one of the following utilities is required: su, sudo, gksu, gksudo, kdesu, or kdesudo. For correct operation of Dr.Web Industrial for Linux, PAM must be used in the operating system.

|
For convenient work with Dr.Web Industrial for Linux from the command line, it is recommended to enable command auto-completion in your command shell (if disabled).
If you encounter any issue with installation of additional packages and components, refer to manuals for your distribution.
|
Compatibility with Components of Operating Systems
The SpIDer Guard monitor uses the fanotify system mechanism.

|
SpIDer Guard can operate in enhanced or “paranoid” mode (blocks access to the files that have not been scanned yet), only via the fanotify system mechanism and providing that the OS kernel is built with the enabled CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS option.
|
Compatibility with Security Subsystems
By default, Dr.Web Industrial for Linux does not support the SELinux security subsystem. Moreover, Dr.Web Industrial for Linux operates by default in a reduced functionality mode on the GNU/Linux systems that use mandatory access models (for example, on the systems distributed with the PARSEC mandatory access subsystem, which assigns different privilege levels, so-called mandatory levels, to users and files).
To install Dr.Web Industrial for Linux on systems with SELinux (as well as on systems that use mandatory access control models), you may have to additionally configure security subsystems to enable full functionality of Dr.Web Industrial for Linux. For details, refer to the Configuring Security Subsystems section.
