Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux command line option to use free version

Question

Hello, 
 which option can I use to select the free version of the Sophos Anti-Virus tool? 
 I try to install it via Puppet with parameters to have an unattended install. I use the following command line. 
 bash install.sh --automatic --acceptlicence --autostart=True --enableOnBoot=True --live-protection=False --update-source-type=s /opt/sophos-av 
 After install via puppet can not use the update function due to missing credentials, which are automatically provided when I choose the free version via interactive install.

sudo /opt/sophos-av/bin/savupdate Sophos Anti-Virus is not configured to update 
 
 But I miss the option to choose the free version.

install.sh: Install Sophos Anti-Virus
Usage: ./install.sh [INSTALL-DIRECTORY] [OPTION] ...

Hello Moerkey , 
 Si senor Si = a single one-time deployment? Likely not as puppet wouldn't make much sense then. Just asking. Be aware that you can/should just use it for initial deployment. From then on it manages the updates itslef (and also you should uninstall using uninstall.sh ). 
 Had some time to think and I am pretty sure that you can (still) use these switches with mkinstpkg to build a package for the free version. 
 As for the credentials please see this post .

Hey, 
 I am aware of that uninstall.sh thingy. I am just working with execs in Puppet. 
 I solved it now with the following command. I hope it helps someone else too. 
 
 cd /opt/sophos-av-src && bash install.sh --automatic --acceptlicence --autostart=True --enableOnBoot=True --live-protection=False --update-source-type=s --update-source-path=sophos: --update-source-username=$(curl -s amicreds.sophosupd.com/.../creds.dat | grep ^username= | cut -d "=" -f 2) --update-source-password=$(curl -s amicreds.sophosupd.com/.../creds.dat | grep ^password= | cut -d "=" -f 2) /opt/sophos-av 
 So necessary parameters are. 
 --update-source-type=s --update-source-path=sophos: --update-source-username=$(curl -s amicreds.sophosupd.com/.../creds.dat | grep ^username= | cut -d "=" -f 2) --update-source-password=$(curl -s amicreds.sophosupd.com/.../creds.dat | grep ^password= | cut -d "=" -f 2) Have a nice weekend
