How to manually upgrade EDR Sensor on a Linux machine

Environment

• EDR Linux Sensor: All Versions
• Linux: All Supported Versions

Resolution

1. Download both the 'CarbonBlackClientSetup-linux-vx.x.x.xxxx.rpm' and the .sh file directly on to the endpoint to upgrade. You will also need to add the 'sensorsettings.ini' file within the same directory where the copied .rpm and .sh files are.
2. The downloaded files will also need to have the permissions modified, here is an example using a version 6.1.6 sensor build:

chmod CarbonBlackClientSetup-linux-v6.1.6.10049.sh
chmod CarbonBlackClientSetup-linux-v6.1.6.10049.rpm

3. After changing the permissions of the file you will need to run the .sh file to perform the upgrade, here is an example using a version 6.1.6 sensor build. The following command would be run in the directory containing the .rmp, .sh and .ini files:

./CarbonBlackClientSetup-linux-v6.1.6.10049.sh
