install linux

Installation

Downloads

Each osquery tag (release) is published to yum and apt repositories for our supported operating systems: osquery.io/downloads

Building from source

osquery supports several distributions of Linux.

For each supported distro, we supply vagrant infrastructure for creating native operating system packages. To create a package (e.g. a deb on Ubuntu or an rpm on CentOS), simply spin up a vagrant instance.

For example:

vagrant up ubuntu14
vagrant ssh ubuntu14

Supported distributions are:

• ubuntu14
• ubuntu12
• centos

Once you have logged into the vagrant box, run the following to create a package:

cd /vagrant
make deps
make
make package

Sub-components

• Linux Kernel instrumentation

Deployment

If you're interested in using osquery to monitor Linux servers in a production environment, see the deployment guide.
