Support Packages

 

In the debian software repository we supply a set of support packages that configure your environment properly in order to enable certain features of CYAN Secure Web.

Upgrade to the latest version

 

In the case you would like to upgrade your system to the latest versions of all installed software packages proceed with the following steps:

 

  • Update your package list

    apt-get update

  • On Debian systems execute

    apt-get dist-upgrade

  • On newer Ubuntu and Kubuntu systems execute

    apt-get full-upgrade


In the case you have choosen to install a specific major version earlier, you may upgrade to the latest version by installing the latest major version using the install command:

 

  • Install the CYAN SECURE WEB bundle using

    apt-get install cyan-sweb-1.8

 

Upgrade of support packages

 

In the case you upgrade the major version and have installed one or more of the support packages, we recommend to add the new versions directly to the upgrade command. If ommitted, the upgrade will notify that the currently installed packages are in conflict and remove them from the system.

 

Following command line includes all available support packages that are bound to a version. For your convenience you may copy this line, remove the packages which are not required and execute the command:

 

aptitude install cyan-sweb-1.8 cyan-sweb-1.8-vscan-clamav cyan-sweb-1.8-vscan-eset cyan-sweb-1.8-crs-sample-database

 

The reporting sample database

 

Do not worry to uninstall the support package that sets up the sample database for the reporting system. An existing database will be preserved!
