This document details the steps required to install the components necessary to run Snare Central as a standalone appliance on your hardware. Snare Central relies on a number of Open Source tools, including the Linux Operating System, the Apache Web Server, and the PHP scripting language, among others - these are included with your installation media.
There are a number of configuration items, such as system passwords, that are specific to an installation. These are highlighted throughout this manual, and a section at the end of the document provides a space where you can record the site specific installation parameters. This document does not cover the installation and removal of specific Snare Agents; these are available as separate documents.
An appendix to this document also highlights several post-installation checks that will allow you to verify that Snare Central has been installed correctly, and is operating optimally.
