Requirements

The following instructions assume the following requirements:

Supported and recommended operating systems are: CentOS 7 Debian 8 and 9 OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 and 42.3 Ubuntu: 14.04 and 16.04 LTS

Install Dependencies

If you are using native packages, you can simply skip this section as all dependencies are installed automatically.

Ubuntu 14.04 / Debian 8

apt-get install python3 python3-pip
apt-get install git build-essential libffi-dev
apt-get install python3-dev
apt-get install redis-server

Special note for Debian 8: if you are using Debian 8, you need to install this package extra: apt-get install libgnutls28-dev. In addition, Debian 8 has an old version of pip3. Please get a current one via:

curl "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py" -o "/tmp/get-pip.py"
python3.4 /tmp/get-pip.py

Ubuntu 16.04 / Debian 9

apt install python3-pip python3-dnspython python3-psutil python3-redis python3-requests python3-termstyle python3-tz
apt install git redis-server

Optional dependencies:

apt install bash-completion jq cron
apt install python3-sleekxmpp python3-pymongo python3-psycopg2

CentOS 7 / RHEL 7

yum install epel-release
yum install python34 python34-devel
yum install git gcc gcc-c++

curl "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py" -o "/tmp/get-pip.py"
python3.4 /tmp/get-pip.py

openSUSE Leap 42.2 / 42.3

zypper install python3-dateutil python3-dnspython python3-psutil python3-pytz python3-redis python3-requests python3-python-termstyle

zypper in python3-psycopg2 python3-pymongo python3-sleekxmpp

Installation

There are different methods to install IntelMQ:

  • as native deb/rpm package
  • from PyPi: to get the latest releases as python package
  • from the (local) repository: for developers to get the latest (unstable!) version and/or have local modifications

Native packages

Get the install instructions for your operating system here: https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Asebix%3Aintelmq&package=intelmq

Currently, these operating systems are supported by the packages: CentOS 7, install epel-release first RHEL 7, install epel-release first Debian 8 (install python3-typing too) and 9 Fedora 25, 26 and Rawhide openSUSE Leap 42.2, 42.3 and Tumbleweed Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04

Please report any errors or improvements at https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/issues Thanks!

With pip

pip automatically installs the dependencies of the core-library if they are not installed yet. Some bots have additional dependencies which are mentioned in their documentation. They have also a REQUIREMENTS file (in their source directory) which you can use for pip3 install -r /path/to/REQUIREMENTS.

Please note that the pip3 installation method does not (and cannot) create /opt/intelmq, as described in Issue #189. As workaround you need to move /opt/intelmq from the site-packages directory to / manually. The location of this directory varies, it could be /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages, /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/ or similar. For example:

mv /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/opt/intelmq /opt/

From PyPi

sudo -s

pip3 install intelmq

mkdir /opt/intelmq
useradd -d /opt/intelmq -U -s /bin/bash intelmq
chmod -R 0770 /opt/intelmq
chown -R intelmq.intelmq /opt/intelmq

From the repository

Clone the repository if not already done:

git clone https://github.com/certtools/intelmq.git /tmp/intelmq
cd /tmp/intelmq

If you have a local repository and you have or will do local modification, consider using an editable installation (pip install -e .).

sudo -s

pip3 install .

mkdir /opt/intelmq
useradd -d /opt/intelmq -U -s /bin/bash intelmq
chmod -R 0770 /opt/intelmq
chown -R intelmq.intelmq /opt/intelmq

Afterwards

Now continue with the User Guide.
