Creating your own copy of SAINT

There are a few simple steps to follow to install SAINT.

If you downloaded a .tar.gz file...

  1. If you are using a window manager, open a Terminal or Console window
  2. cd to the directory where you want to install SAINT. (/usr/local/src or /usr/local/bin are good places.)
  3. gunzip saint-x.tar.gz where x is the version of SAINT you downloaded.
  4. tar xf saint-x.tar
  5. cd saint-x
  6. ./configure
  7. make
  8. make install
  9. ./saint

If you downloaded a .rpm file (Linux users only)...

  1. If you are using a window manager, open a Terminal or Console window.
  2. rpm -i saint-x-y.i386.rpm where x-y is the SAINT version and release number that you downloaded.
  3. saint

That should be all that is needed. If you have any problems, you should read the full documentation on configuration and installation.

You should now go to Scanning your host or networks to see how to start scanning hosts using SAINT.
