Linux RPM Source and Binaries

Many popular Linux distributions (Redhat, Mandrake, Suse, etc) usetheRPM package management system forquick and easy binary package installation. We havewritten a detailedguide toinstalling our RPM packages, though these simple commands usually dothe trick:

rpm -vhU https://nmap.org/dist/nmap-7.98-1.x86_64.rpmrpm -vhU https://nmap.org/dist/zenmap-7.98-1.noarch.rpmrpm -vhU https://nmap.org/dist/ncat-7.98-1.x86_64.rpmrpm -vhU https://nmap.org/dist/nping-7.98-1.x86_64.rpm

Source Code Distribution

This is the traditional compile-it-yourself format. The Nmaptarball compiles under Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and many UNIXplatforms (Solaris, Free/Net/OpenBSD, etc.) It includes Zenmap, theGUI frontend.

Detailed Linux/BSD/Solaris compilation instructions and options areprovided here, though this usually does the trick:

bzip2 -cd nmap-7.98.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -cd nmap-7.98./configuremakesu rootmake install

Most Windows users install with ourWindows executable installer, but we also provideWindows source code compilation instructions.

Most Mac OS X users install with ourMac installer, but we also provideMac OS X source code compilation instructions.

If you are compiling Nmap anyway, you might prefer to get the very latest code fromour SVN source code repository or theNmap GitHub mirror rather than downloading a tarball here.
