What does the 'NO_START=1' command do during the Falcon installation on a VM?

The 'NO_START=1' command during the Falcon installation on a virtual machine is specifically designed to prevent the sensor from starting automatically after its installation. This command can be particularly useful in environments where an administrator wants to complete additional configurations or ensure that specific prerequisites are met before the sensor begins its operations.

By using this command, the installation process completes without initiating the sensor, allowing the administrator the flexibility to manage and configure the system as needed. This ensures that any additional steps that need to be taken for the proper functioning of the sensor can be completed prior to it starting, thus minimizing any risks during the initial setup phase.
