How to install ImunifyAV on shared hosting?

Question

PHP

There used to be such a convenient script called AI-Bolit. You download the archive, unpack it into a folder on php hosting, change the settings in the config and run it. It checks the site and indicates suspicious objects. I needed it, but it turns out it is no more. The manufacturer's website revisium.com redirects to new imunify 360 branded products. Among other things, there is a free ImunifyAV scanner.

Trying to install it, sweb hosting.
Logged in via SSH, made a folder, executed:

$ wget https://repo.imunify360.cloudlinux.com/defence360/imav-deploy.sh

script downloaded

@vip45 ~/public_html/antivirus $ bash imav-deploy.sh

Actually, that's all. They won’t let me run something as root on shared hosting, but I don’t see how to install it without root in the instructions. Is it possible to run this scanner without admin rights?

Answer 1

No one will allow you to install such software on shared hosting. ImunifyAV is installed globally on the server and scans hamsters (/home/) of users. It's not the kind of scanner that you can run since it's the same ai-bolit.php. Look for alternatives to Ai-Bolit.
