sudo sh product_deployment.sh <protection module list>

Where the protection module list consists of one or more protection modules separated by a space: TP (Threat Prevention), FW (Firewall), or WC (Web Control).

Example:

The following command installs only the Threat Prevention protection module:

sudo sh product_deployment.sh TP
