FreeBSD / OpenBSD / NetBSDThe BSD flavors are well supported by Nmap, so you can simply
compile it from source as described in the section called “Unix Compilation and Installation from Source Code” This provides the normal advantages of always having the latest
version and a flexible build process. If you prefer binary packages,
these *BSD variants each maintain their own Nmap packages. Many BSD
systems also have a ports tree which standardizes the compilation of
popular applications. Instructions for installing Nmap on
the most popular *BSD variants follow. OpenBSD Binary Packages and Source Ports InstructionsAccording to the OpenBSD FAQ, users
“are HIGHLY advised to use packages over building an application
from ports. The OpenBSD ports team considers packages to be the goal
of their porting work, not the ports themselves.” That same
FAQ contains detailed instructions for each method. Here is a summary: Installation using binary packages Choose a mirror from http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html FTP in and grab the Nmap
package from
/pub/OpenBSD/version /packages/platform /nmap-version .tgz .
Or obtain it from the OpenBSD distribution CD-ROM. As root, execute: pkg_add -v nmap-version .tgz
Installation using the source ports tree If you do not already have a copy of the ports tree, obtain it via CVS using instructions at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html#CVS As root, execute the following command (replace /usr/ports with your local ports directory if it differs): cd /usr/ports/net/nmap && make install clean
FreeBSD Binary Package and Source Ports InstructionsThe FreeBSD project has a whole chapter
in their Handbook describing the package and port installation
processes. A brief summary of the process follows. Installation of the binary packageThe easiest way to install the binary Nmap package is to run
pkg_add -r nmap. You can then run the same command
with the zenmap argument if you want the X-Window
front-end. If you wish to obtain the package manually instead,
retrieve it from http://www.freshports.org/security/nmap and http://www.freshports.org/security/zenmap or
the CDROM and run pkg_add packagename.tgz .
Installation using the source ports treeThe ports tree is often installed with the system
itself (usually in /usr/ports ). If you do not already have it,
specific installation instructions are provided in the FreeBSD Handbook
chapter referenced above. As root, execute the following command (replace /usr/ports with your local ports directory if it differs): cd /usr/ports/security/nmap && make install clean
NetBSD Binary Package InstructionsNetBSD has packaged Nmap for an enormous number of platforms, from the normal i386 to Playstation 2, PowerPC, Vax, SPARC, MIPS, Amiga, ARM, and several platforms that I have never even heard of! Unfortunately they are not very up-to-date. A list of NetBSD Nmap packages is available from ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/net/nmap/README.html and a description of using their package system to install applications is available at http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/using.html#id2956484 |
