Install your EPM-L package

If you do not have existing packages in EPM-L, start by creating new packages.

After installation, you must activate your packages.

Create a new package

1. From the top left of the BeyondTrust Home page, click > Endpoint Privilege Management for Linux > Installers.
   The Linux Deployment Packages page displays.
2. Click Create Packages.
   The following packages are created:
   • .RPM packages for Linux RedHat installations:
     • epml-client.x86_64.rpm (recommended)
       • Policy not cached on the endpoint
       • Supported on Amazon Linux 2 and Amazon Linux 2023
     • epml-cachedclient.x86_64.rpm
       • Policy cached locally on the endpoint
       • Not supported on Amazon Linux 2 and Amazon Linux 2023
       • Can consume resources on the client, especially disk space for storing the cached files
   • .DEB packages for Debian and Ubuntu installations:
     • epml-client.amd64.deb (recommended)
       • Policy cached locally on the endpoint
     • epml-cachedclient.amd64.deb
       • Policy cached locally on the endpoint
3. Click Instructions and follow the on-screen procedure to complete package creation and activation.

Add a passthrough proxy server

Optionally, add a passthrough proxy server to install the clients through a proxy server.

1. Click > Endpoint Privilege Management for Linux > EPML Settings.
   The Endpoint Privilege Management for Linux Settings page displays.
2. Click the Editor View tab.
3. Enter proxy in the Settings Filter box.
   Three settings display:

• proxy_server (editable): The IP address or URL for the proxy server. The default value is none (no proxy support).
• proxy_type (non-editable): The only supported value is HTTP.
• proxy_port (editable): The port number of the proxy. Default value is 8080.

4. Expand each proxy setting you want to update for your installer packages.
5. Edit the setting(s).
6. Click Save.
   The proxy settings are now ready for your installer packages.

Download a package

If you download a package to a Windows or macOS computer, you must transfer the package file via SCP or SMB file transfer mechanisms to either the Linux client or a file system that’s secure and accessible from the Linux client.

If you download a package to a Linux client directly, you can save it to a local, secure folder.

1. From the top left of the BeyondTrust Home page, click > Endpoint Privilege Management for Linux > Installers.
   The Linux Deployment Packages page displays.

2. Locate the package you want to download.

   • .RPM packages for Linux RedHat installations:
     • epml-client.x86_64.rpm (recommended)
       • Policy not cached on the endpoint
       • Supported on Amazon Linux 2 and Amazon Linux 2023
     • epml-cachedclient.x86_64.rpm
       • Policy cached locally on the endpoint
       • Not supported on Amazon Linux 2 and Amazon Linux 2023
       • Can consume resources on the client, especially disk space for storing the cached files
   • .DEB packages for Debian and Ubuntu installations:
     • epml-client.amd64.deb (recommended)
       • Policy cached locally on the endpoint
     • epml-cachedclient.amd64.deb
