If you are not familiar or comfortable building from source code, we recommend that you use the Greenbone Community Edition, a prepared virtual machine with a readily available setup. Information regarding the virtual machine is available at https://www.greenbone.net/en/community-edition/.
In case everything was installed using the defaults, then starting the HTTP daemon of the Greenbone Security Assistant can be done with this simple command:
gsad
The daemon will listen on port 443, making the web interface
available in your network at https://<your host>.
If port 443 was not available or the user has no root privileges,
gsad tries to serve at port 9392 as a fallback (https://<your host>:9392).
To see all available command line options of gsad, enter this command:
gsad --help
For any question on the usage of gsa please use the Greenbone Community
Portal. If you found a problem with the
software, please create an issue on
GitHub. If you are a Greenbone customer you may alternatively or additionally
forward your issue to the Greenbone Support Portal.
