CentOS Installation Instructions
To install the client perform the following steps:
- Download the corresponding BigFix client RPM file to the Red Hat computer.
- Install the RPM by running the command
rpm -ivh client_RPM_path
- Copy your actionsite masthead to the client computer (the masthead
contains configuration, license, and security information). The action
site masthead (actionsite.afxm) can be found in your
BES Installation folders (by default they are placed under C:\Program
Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Installers\Client on Windows
and /var/opt/BESInstallers/Client/ on Linux). If
the masthead is not named actionsite.afxm, rename
it to actionsite.afxm and place it on the computer
at the following location: /etc/opt/BESClient/actionsite.afxm. Note: The directory /etc/opt/BESClient/ is not automatically created by the installer. If it does not exist, create it manually.The masthead file for each BigFix server is downloadable at http://servername:port/masthead/masthead.afxm (example: http://bes.BigFix.com:52311/masthead/masthead.afxm).
- Start the BigFix client
by running the command:
/etc/init.d/besclient start
