Panda Antivirus for Linux

Installation requirements

In order to install Panda Antivirus for Linux (version 7.0-1) correctly, make sure the following minimum requirements are met:

• Processor: 486 or faster.
• RAM: 32 MB.
• Hard Disk: 20 MB free space.
• Operating System: Red Hat (versions 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 8.0), SuSE version 7.3, Mandrake (versions 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 or 9.0) o Debian 2.1.

Once you have checked that these requirements are met, follow the steps below:

From this Panda Software page, download the file pavcl_linux_i386 (in .rpm or .tgz format) and copy it to a directory. Once the file has been copied, the antivirus installation process can begin.

• If Red Hat Package Manager (rpm) is installed –which is usually the case in Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, etc.- download the file .rpm. In order to install the antivirus correctly, type the following command in the command line:

  rpm –i pavcl_linux_i386.rpm

  If you are not in the directory in which the file was copied, specify the path in the following way:

  rpm –i [/path]/ pavcl_linux_i386.rpm

• If Red Hat Package Manager (rpm) is not installed -for example in Debian-, use the .tgz file. In this case follow the steps below:

  • Copy the pavcl_linux_i386.tgz file to the root / directory.
  • Decompress the file using the following command:
    gzip –d pavcl_linux_i386.tgz
  • The file pavcl_linux_i386.tar is created.
  • In order to install the antivirus, type:
    tar –xvf pavcl_linux_i386.tar

When installation is complete, the required directory structure is created.
