Install EDR

Step 1: Install Armor Anywhere

To Install EDR on your device, users must first install the Armor Agent.

Armor security services are designed for workload protection, so users will need to install the Armor Agent with no services active.

To install the Armor Agent only, please follow Step 2, Optional Step 1 in the Armor Agent 3.0 documentation.

Step 2: Install EDR

Once installed, users can install EDR services using the CLI or Armor Toolbox.

Linux Command

/opt/armor/armor edr install

Windows Command

c:\.armor\opt\armor.exe edr install

 

EDR can also be installed using the Armor Toolbox. Please see the documentation available on the Armor Toolbox and Agent 3.0 installation scripts. 

 

MacOS

For users looking to install EDR on macOS, please follow this documentation.
Supported Versions: Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma.

Carbon Black User Roles

During EDR sign-up, a user is elected to be the Admin user for the Carbon Black account. That Admin user is configured as in the Carbon Black portal as Super Admin. The Super Admin user will have all privileges to perform within the Carbon Black portal. Users must be careful which actions are performed in the portal and be mindful of privileges that are granted to other users.
