clamav command line install

[cs_student]

As a server administrator, I'm always dealing with websites which get hacked. I will use a program called maldet to scan a users home directory. For it to work best, I need clamav installed. I know I can go to the whm and add it; however, I wanted to know if there was a way to do it from the command line interface. This is purely for efficiency reasons.

The issue with trying to install via command line is that it won't set the option in WHM > Manage Plugins area for "Install and keep updated" with clamavconnector. Can you explain why you would like to know how to do it in command line? Is there a slew of servers needing this added?

If you just want it added, which will cause it to be enabled in WHM > Service Manager (and will allow you to use "/scripts/restartsrv_clamd" to restart it), you can install using yum on CentOS or R:

yum install clamd

I wouldn't really recommend this route as it installs rpms rather than using our installer.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I am aware of how to install it via yum. It is indeed on a CentOS server.
The reasons for this is indeed that I need to install it on many servers. I would like to use the cpanel installer to keep it updated and ensure everything works correctly with cpanel.

Is there no automated way I can do this through cpanel without logging into the whm web interface?

No, there is no way you can do this automatically through cPanel.
