Overview

The following document provides information on how to install the Netify Agent (netifyd) on Ubuntu for the purpose of analyzing packet capture files. For instructions on how to install and configure Netify for ingesting live network traffic, please see these instructions.

Installation

Up-to-date Netify packages are maintained in our Ubuntu repository.

apt-key add - < Netify.gpg
echo 'deb https://download.netify.ai/5/ubuntu/focal/ /' > /tmp/netify.list
mv /tmp/netify.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/netify.list

apt-get -y install netifyd netify-proc-core netify-sink-log netify-sink-socket netify-sink-http

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

apt-get update
apt-get install curl gnupg2
curl https://download.netify.ai/5/ubuntu/apt-gpg-key-netify.asc -o Netify.gpg
apt-key add - < Netify.gpg
echo 'deb https://download.netify.ai/5/ubuntu/jammy/ /' > /tmp/netify.list

apt-get update
apt-get -y install netifyd netify-proc-core netify-sink-log netify-sink-socket netify-sink-http

Sanity Check

To verify the installation, run the following command:

netifyd --status

Various UUIDs and Cloud Informatics ("sink services") are disabled. That's okay.

With netifyd installed, you are now ready to jump into the Packet Capture Files documentation.
