As at version 1.3.1 of Open-AudIT (for RedHat / Centos installs only at this stage), an installation script is now shipped in the tarball. This script can perform installs, upgrades, backups, restores, uninstalls and check for install dependencies. How to perform all of the above is detailed below. The script will log it's commands to the file /tmp/install.log. If your install fails, this log will provide valuable information as to why.
NOTE - Any commands that have <SOMETHING> in them require that you substitute <SOMETHING> for the appropriate value. For example, if your servers hostname is 'vali', and the command states 'echo "<YOUR_SERVER>" >> somefile.txt' you should type 'echo "vali" >> somefile.txt'.
All steps below require the tarball to be copied to (preferrably) /tmp extracted and then the install script (install.pl) run from that directory.
