This project adapts the Debian/Ubuntu-only 'Endpoint Verification' native helper for any AMD64 Linux distro by manually downloading the latest .deb, patching device_state.sh to hardcode OS_VERSION to 18.04 (the script can only detect versions for Debian or Ubuntu), and installing the system service and Google Chrome/Chromium native message helper application.
- Clone or download this repo
cdto the root of this repo- Run
./download-unpack-latest.sh - If this succeeds:
- run
sudo ./install-systemd.shon e.g. Arch Linux and other systemd-using distros - or
sudo ./install-rc.d-systemctl.shto use Google's built-in install script on distributions that have 'update-rc.d' but use 'systemctl .. start' to start services.
The install script will ask you whether you wish to install the Native Messaging helper application for Google Chrome and/or Chromium (they use different paths). It seems to work fine in Chromium.
- It should be reasonably easy to adapt this script's approach to other non-Debian Linux operating systems. It's been tried on Arch Linux, and nowhere else yet.
- The script could be adapted for 32-bit systems: There is a corresponding 32-bit .deb. Does anyone need this?
