Installing mandos

Make sure to use the version suitable for your region. Each region has their own license server(s) and therefore their own tool versions.

Download both mandos packages from the customer portal.

 

Ubuntu

sudo dpkg -i mandos-dkms_<region>-<version>_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i mandos_<region>-<version>_amd64.deb

Review the configuration file:

sudo cat /opt/cyber-compliance/etc/mandos.conf

Obtain and apply the license:

sudo /opt/cyber-compliance/bin/licreq --client <license-key>
sudo cp /tmp/license.dat /opt/cyber-compliance/etc/license.dat

Start/Restart mandos and apply the rules:

sudo systemctl restart mandosd

Remember to test on a pre-production (test) system first.
