Install Greenbone OpenVAS from source in Ubuntu 18.04
I Spent a lot of time installing Greenbone OpenVAS from the CentOS/Ubuntu repositories. Most builds in the repositories had issues which would have been fixed in the branches or in the latest release, but the repositories are not updated. Errors were mostly related to the library mismatch. I decided to install it from the source and as usual had to face some challenges as well. You could follow the below mentioned steps to install openvas in Ubuntu 18.04. I tried to install this in CentOS as well. But there were a hell lot of issues. Ubuntu is the only OS I was able to install in. I would continue my effort to install it in CentOS. For now, enjoy installation in Ubuntu. Do make a note that I have provided all the dependency installation as well (As I encountered). You may see some other dependency issues. Do provide comments how it goes. Any comments/questions/corrections are welcome. Install the cmake compiler: apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install cmake Install gv
