Installation

[jshamley]

For installation, do you need to install ClamAV on to a local machine or server?

[kylefarris]

You will need the clamscan executable on your machine. You can easily install this and it's dependencies on most linux machines like so:

sudo yum install clamscan

or

sudo apt-get install clamscan

Hope that helps!

Thank you very much!

You're welcome. I've updated the README as to prevent this type of confusion.

[jshamley]

Did you mean to put 'sudo apt-get install clamav'? That's how I was able to get mine working. Thank you very much for a very helpful module!

@jshamley You will need clamscan. Usually, as a dependency, that package includes clamav. If it does not, you will need to download that as the clamscan binary, and, hence, this module, do need that to work But, to be clear, clamscan is the executable that this package Node module directly requires to work.

If I do a sudo apt-get install clamscan it cannot find the package, see error below. Performing a sudo apt-get install clamav installs clamscan at the proper location with all of the correct files and such.

$ sudo apt-get install clamscan

What OS and version are you using?

[kylefarris]

Nevermind, my apologies. You are absolutely correct. It should be sudo apt-get install clamav. Thanks!

[jshamley]

no problem. thank you for the excellent module!
