Installing

Nmap

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.

Windows Server only (or Linux)

Open-AudIT should be installed on 64bit Windows Server systems only. Windows 10 is not supported.

Visual C Runtime

Please install the latest Visual C runtime from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0

Go to open-audit.org and download the latest version. Supply your name, email and company and download the binary. Right click the .exe and selecting “Run as Administrator”.

...

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.

NOTE - Installing on Windows 10 is possible, you will need to answer a lot of "yes, I'm sure" type questions. See linked article for examples, https://www.theregister.com/2020/06/05/windows_10_microsoft_defender_smartscreen/

Upgrading

Upgrading is essentially the same as installing - although you will already have Nmap, so no need to reinstall that.
