Installing OSSEC 3.7.0 on Debian 11 (Bullseye) How-To

Now that version 3.7.0 has been released I took another deep dive into how this is compiled from Source, as usual I brought this onto me because I like testing this for when I have to push it into other systems that are not directly supported by the available packages.

For OSSEC 3.7.0 a package was added to the previous requirement list which can be found below:

apt install wget build-essential libpcre2-dev zlib1g-dev inotify-tools libevent-dev libssl-dev libsystemd-dev

To download and decompress run:

wget -qO- https://github.com/ossec/ossec-hids/archive/3.7.0.tar.gz | tar -zxvf

And finally run the install.sh file, again for my case I use local as I pull the logs using NXLog.

Have fun!
