Introduction

This chapter describes how to install your Centreon monitoring platform.

The monitoring platform can be installed in several ways. However, we strongly recommend using Centreon repositories (packages) to install your platform. Enjoy our industrialization work during installation and update steps of the environment. Also enjoy optimizations installed by default on the system.

Centreon can be installed from sources (tar.gz) but the work is more complex. In addition, the installation will only be supported by the community.

Before installing Centreon:

1. Check the compatibility (supported OSs, DBMS).
2. Choose the type of architecture that best suits your needs.
3. Check the prerequisites (CPU resources, memory, disks, partitioning, etc...).
4. Download Centreon.
5. Finally, you can install the platform.
