    • now try to run it and nothing happen


    So let fix it

    • Navigate to the systemd services directory:


    sudo cd /usr/lib64/systemd/system (for 64bit system)
    or /usr/lib/systemd/system (for 32bit system & debian based-distro)   

    • Create a file called "eset.service": 

    sudo nano -w eset.service
    •        Add the following content to the file:

    [Unit]
    Description=ESET Scanner Daemon
    After=network.target

    [Service]
    ExecStart=/opt/eset/esets/sbin/esets_daemon
    ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
    KillMode=process
    PIDFile=/var/run/esets_daemon.pid

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
      
    • Save your changes. (save : Ctrl+O - Exit : Ctrl+x)
    • Start the newly created "eset" service:  sudo systemctl start eset
    • Start ESET NOD32 Antivirus from your Desktop environment.
    • Alternatively, you can start the ESET GUI using the following command in Terminal:

      /opt/eset/esets/bin/esets_gui
       
    • Configure the "eset" service and ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop to start automatically after booting up:

      sudo systemctl enable eset
       
    • Ensure the ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop is starting automatically after logging into the Desktop environment. 

      Note: Eset nod32 antivirus is commercial so you should buy a license.
       
      Activate the antivirus by buying a license (username & password) and update the signature database.
