Installing XeneX Endpoint Protection Agent

Depending on the services you purchased and your environment, you might need to install our XeneX Endpoint Detection Agent as well. 

Manual Install: MAC/Windows 

 Step 1: We will provide you with two commands.  

Note: (Make sure you run the commands as Admin) 

Step 2: Copy and paste the first command in the Terminal (MAC) or Powershell (Windows) 

Step 3: Execute the command.  

Step 4: Paste the second command in the Terminal (MAC) or Powershell (Windows) 

Step 5: Execute the command. That is all you must do for this agent to install. 

Manual Install: Linux 

 Adding the repository: Add the Wazuh repository to download the official packages based on your Linux version: 

• Yum: Used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, and Fedora. 

• APT: Used in Debian and Ubuntu. 

• Zypper: Used in openSUSE. 

Yum: 

Step 1: Import the GPG key. In the command line run:  

# rpm --import https://packages.wazuh.com/key/GPG-KEY-WAZUH 
 

Step 2: Add the repository. In the command line run. 

# cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/wazuh.repo << EOF 
[wazuh]

enabled=1 
name=EL-\$releasever - Wazuh 
baseurl=https://packages.wazuh.com/4.x/yum/ 
protect=1 
EOF  

APT: 

Step 1: Install the GPG key. In the command line run: 

# curl -s https://packages.wazuh.com/key/GPG-KEY-WAZUH | gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring gnupg-ring:/usr/share/keyrings/wazuh.gpg --import && chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/wazuh.gpg 

Step 2: Add the repository. In the command line run: 

# echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/wazuh.gpg] https://packages.wazuh.com/4.x/apt/ stable main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wazuh.list 
 

Step 3: Update the package information. In the command line run: 

# apt-get update 
 

Note: 

For Debian 7, 8, and Ubuntu 14 systems import the GCP key and add the Wazuh repository (steps 1 and 2) using the following commands: 

# apt-get install gnupg apt-transport-https 
# curl -s https://packages.wazuh.com/key/GPG-KEY-WAZUH | apt-key add - 
# echo "deb https://packages.wazuh.com/4.x/apt/ stable main" | tee -a /etc/a 

Zypper: 

Step 1: Import the GPG key. In the command line run: 

# rpm --import https://packages.wazuh.com/key/GPG-KEY-WAZUH 
 

Step 2: Add the repository. In the command line run: 

# cat > /etc/zypp/repos.d/wazuh.repo <<\EOF 
[wazuh] 
gpgcheck=1 
gpgkey=https://packages.wazuh.com/key/GPG-KEY-WAZUH 
enabled=1 
name=EL-$releasever - Wazuh 
baseurl=https://packages.wazuh.com/4.x/yum/ 
protect=1 
EOF 
 

Refresh the repository. In the command line run: 

# zypper refresh  

Installing the agent 

Step 1: We will provide you with the correct commands to install the agents, which will be a series of commands. An example of what those commands might look like depending on your Linux version: 

To deploy the agent on RedHat, CentOS, Fedora: 

sudo WAZUH_MANAGER='xedr1.cloudaccess.com' WAZUH_AGENT_GROUP='XeneX' yum install -y https://packages.wazuh.com/4.x/yum/wazuh-agent-4.4.5-1.x86_64.rpm 

To start the agent:  

• sudo systemctl daemon-reload  

• sudo systemctl enable wazuh-agent  

• sudo systemctl start wazuh-agent 

Step 2: After executing the commands we provide you, the deployment process is complete, and the agent is successfully running on your Linux system. 

These commands add the Xenex Endpoint Agent repository to your system's list of trusted sources for software packages. This allows you to install Wazuh agent packages using your system's package manager 

If there are many hosts that need services, then it may not be practical to use manual installation. See the Alternate Installation Methods pagefor mass installation methods.
