Instruction for the compilation and installation of Nessus-1.0 and later
0. Pre-installation requirements
If you have another version of Nessus, then use the script
'uninstall-nessus' before you type make.
Make sure that you have bison and flex installed. If you only
have yacc and lex, you *may* run into problems.
The basic way to install nessus-libraries is to do :
./configure
make
make install
1. configure options
All the configure options have been centralized the the
'configure' script of nessus-libraries.
For instance, if you want to disable the cipher layer,
then just type :
./configure --disable-cipher
This will affect the build of the other packages, as
the 'configure' options are then hardcoded in the
nessus library.
The current configure options are :
--enable-cipher[=NN] enables the compilation of the cipher
layer with a special option: NN is the
size of the keys (use this for US export.)
--disable-ptmx use this directive if you have problems
with the pseudo tty multiplexer; on
some linux (kernel > 2.2) systems, the
/dev/ptmx is avaiable but the supporting
functions sometimes do not work as
expected
--enable-zlib=peks explicitely configure and compile the
data stream compression package against
the source fragment that comes with peks,
even if the operating system provides
it as a library
--enable-gmp=peks explicitely configure and compile the
maths package against the source fragment
that comes with peks, even if the operating
system provides it as a library
--enable-splitgmp split off the gmp library that comes with the
peks sources from the cipher lib, and provide
a sepatate library instance: this flag is
needed only if the assembler part of the gmp
lib should not be used as a shared library,
while the libpeks, is.
Some more elaborate options allow you to control whether to compile and
link against the packages that come with peks, or to use resources from
your operating system.
--enable-zlib[=/path] do not use the package provided with
peks, but the one already installed
--enable-gmp[=/path] do not use the package provided with
peks, but the one already installed
--enable-random[=/dev] use this device as an additional random
source; you may need to set this explicitlely
on systems other than Linux and BSD where
there is a character device /dev/urandom
available (other device names will not be
auto-detected.)
2. Compilation and installation
Compilation and installation is done by typing 'make'. If you are running
under Solaris, then add /usr/ccs/bin to your path before you compile :
make
Then, as root, type :
make install
3. Files location
Nessus is installed in the following directories :
${prefix}/share/nessus : users database, users keys
${prefix}/etc/nessusd.conf : nessusd configuration file
${prefix}/lib/nessus/ : scripts and plugins
