Software installation

The Software Installation component manages the installation of software on devices. It leverages platform-specific mechanisms to install software packages.

Installation flow

User initiates software installation through the UI or API.
Server sends installation instructions to the device.
Device installs the software using platform-specific mechanisms.
Device reports installation status to the server.

Integration points

The Software architecture integrates with the following components:

Fleet Server: For device management and software inventory collection.
Database: For storing software inventory and vulnerability information.
External Vulnerability Databases: For retrieving vulnerability information.
Platform-Specific Installation Mechanisms: For installing software on devices.
