- Log on to Open-AudIT and fill out the form to receive a free 20 device license.
- Add some credentials.
- Add a Discovery.
- Run the Discovery.
- Done!

Installing
Open-AudIT uses Nmap as part of its discovery routine. No Nmap, no discovery. Go to the nmap.org webpage, click the Downloads link and download the latest Nmap version for Windows. Linux users don’t have to do this as our Linux installer will automatically install Nmap (and the other dependencies) for you. Install Nmap by right-clicking the .exe and selecting “Run as Administrator”, and simply use the default (already chosen) options. Open-AudIT doesn’t require any special setup or configuration of Nmap – we just need it installed.

A more in depth explanation for Linux users is available on this page. That page details items like Apache proxy configuration, ip tables concerns, etc. The installer should take care of these automatically, but in case something goes wrong, please consult that page.
Upgrading
Upgrading is essentially the same as installing - although you will already have Nmap, so no need to reinstall that.
Just run the installer as per above and when you log on, you will be directed to the database schema upgrade screen. Run this and your schema will be upgraded and you can then continue to use Open-AudIT as normal. Don't forget we have release notes available for every version so you'll know exactly what has changed.
