Does anyone know whether FortiClient on Linux can be run without the UI requirements?

 

Ideally I want to deploy on a Ubuntu Server to gain telemetry and vulnerability detection.

I've installed it on Ubuntu 18.04 and it was able to detect and block virus downloads. Can't seem to get it to connect to the FGT though.

Was this on Ubuntu Server (i.e. no GUI)? Because when I use dpkg or apt to install the .deb package it wants to bring a whole lot of gtk related dependencies along with it.

Yup it was Ubuntu Server 18.04 (no GUI).

 

Installed via 'dpkg -i forticlient.deb'.

 

Once installed tried to download the eicar test file via wget and could confirm it was blocking it (didn't download file and the logs showed it sent the file to quarantine).
