Please, contact Imunify360 Support Team.  \n<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The key issue here is the missing <code>libipset.so.13<\/code> library, which is required by <strong>ipset<\/strong>, a tool used by Imunify360 for managing firewall rules.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<h3>Step-by-Step Solution<\/h3>\n<h4>1. Install the <code>ipset-libs<\/code> Package<\/h4>\n<p>Run this command to install the missing library:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">\nsudo yum install ipset-libs -y\n<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<h4>2. Verify Library Installation<\/h4>\n<p>Confirm the library exists:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">\nls \/usr\/lib64\/libipset.so.13\n<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<h4>3. Update Dynamic Linker Cache<\/h4>\n<p>Update the system\u2019s dynamic linker cache:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">\nsudo ldconfig\n<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<h4>4. Retry Imunify360 Installation<\/h4>\n<p>Re-run the installer:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">\nbash i360deploy.sh IPL\n<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<h4>5.
