How to Install SentinelOne on Ubuntu 24.04 with a Simple Script.
Deploying cybersecurity software shouldn’t be a hassle—especially when time is critical. If you’re using Ubuntu 24.04 and need to deploy the SentinelOne Endpoint Agent, this guide will show you how to do it with one streamlined script.

Whether you’re a systems administrator, MSP, or security-conscious business owner, you’ll appreciate how easy it is to install the SentinelOne agent using our Install_SentinelOne.sh script.

Why Use a Script?

Manual installation requires multiple steps: creating configuration files, downloading the installer, setting permissions, and running post-install checks. While not difficult, it can be time-consuming and error-prone—especially across multiple machines.

This script simplifies everything into a single executable file, reducing human error and improving deployment speed.

What You Need

Before running the script, ensure you have:

• Root privileges on the machine
• A valid SentinelOne management token
• The correct .deb package download URL from your SentinelOne portal

The Install Script

Below is the full content of the script you’ll use. Save it as Install_SentinelOne.sh:

#!/bin/bash

# ===========================
# SentinelOne Installation Script for Ubuntu 24.04
# ===========================
# Update the two variables below before running
S1_TOKEN='your_sentinelone_management_token_here'
S1_INSTALLER_URL='your_download_url_here'

# === DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING ===

CONFIG_PATH="/tmp/config.cfg"
INSTALLER_PATH="/tmp/sentinelone_installer.deb"

echo "Creating configuration file..."
cat <<EOF > "$CONFIG_PATH"
S1_AGENT_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN=$S1_TOKEN
S1_AGENT_AUTO_START=true
S1_AGENT_DEVICE_TYPE=server
EOF

echo "Setting environment variable..."
export S1_AGENT_INSTALL_CONFIG_PATH="$CONFIG_PATH"

echo "Preparing installation directory..."
sudo mkdir -p /opt/sentinelone/log/
sudo chown root:root /opt/sentinelone/log/

echo "Downloading SentinelOne installer..."
wget -O "$INSTALLER_PATH" "$S1_INSTALLER_URL"

echo "Installing SentinelOne agent..."
sudo S1_AGENT_INSTALL_CONFIG_PATH="$CONFIG_PATH" dpkg -i "$INSTALLER_PATH"

echo "Verifying installation..."
sudo /opt/sentinelone/bin/sentinelctl control status
sudo /opt/sentinelone/bin/sentinelctl version

echo "Installation complete."

How to Use It

1. Copy the script into a file: nano Install_SentinelOne.sh
2. Replace the token and URL:
   • Update S1_TOKEN with your real management token
   • Update S1_INSTALLER_URL with the direct .deb download link from your SentinelOne dashboard
3. Make the script executable: chmod +x Install_SentinelOne.sh
4. Run the script with sudo: sudo ./Install_SentinelOne.sh

Post-Installation Check

Once the script completes, confirm the SentinelOne agent is active:

sudo /opt/sentinelone/bin/sentinelctl control status
sudo /opt/sentinelone/bin/sentinelctl version

These commands will show the agent’s operational status and version number.

Final Thoughts

This script is perfect for IT professionals who need a fast, repeatable, and error-free method to deploy SentinelOne across multiple Ubuntu servers. Just drop in the correct token and download URL, and you’re ready to go.

Pro Tip:

Automate this with Ansible, SSH scripts, or cloud-init for large-scale deployments across multiple servers or virtual machines.
