Adding the ntop Repository

Before installing ntop packages, you need to add the official ntop repository. Below are instructions for any of the supported distributions.

Ubuntu

24.04 LTS

To install the programs in Ubuntu 24.04 open your shell and type:

apt-get install software-properties-common wget add-apt-repository universe wget https://packages.ntop.org/apt-stable/24.04/all/apt-ntop-stable.deb apt install ./apt-ntop-stable.deb

22.04 LTS

apt-get install software-properties-common wget add-apt-repository universe wget https://packages.ntop.org/apt-stable/22.04/all/apt-ntop-stable.deb apt install ./apt-ntop-stable.deb

20.04 LTS

apt-get install software-properties-common wget add-apt-repository universe wget https://packages.ntop.org/apt-stable/20.04/all/apt-ntop-stable.deb apt install ./apt-ntop-stable.deb

Debian

Debian 11 (Bullseye)

Before to install make sure to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add "contrib" at the end of each line that begins with deb and deb-src. Then, type in your shell:

wget https://packages.ntop.org/apt-stable/bullseye/all/apt-ntop-stable.deb apt install ./apt-ntop-stable.deb

Debian 10 (Buster)

Before to install make sure to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add "contrib" at the end of each line that begins with deb and deb-src. Then, type in your shell:

wget https://packages.ntop.org/apt-stable/buster/all/apt-ntop-stable.deb apt install ./apt-ntop-stable.deb

Installing ntop Packages

Once the ntop repository has been added, you can run the following commands (as root) to install ntop Packages:

apt-get clean all apt-get update apt-get install pfring-dkms nprobe ntopng n2disk cento

You can (optionally) install the ZC drivers as follows:

apt-get install pfring-drivers-zc-dkms

To install nedge (if available for your distro) you can run the following command:

apt-get install nedge

Note that ntopng must not be installed together with nedge. Remove ntopng before installing nedge.

As every night we build new packages, if you want to keep your system up-to-date, every morning you can do:

apt-get update apt-get upgrade

Notes

• Most software work without licenses. However some components do need a license. They include:
  • PF_RING ZC user-space libraries
  • nProbe (NetFlow/IPFIX probe)
  • n2disk (packet to disk application)
• ntop suggests to use Ubuntu Server LTS or CentOS x64.
• If you are a nProbe user and want to install a nprobe package with no dependency, please install the nprobes
  (rather than the nprobe) package. Note that you can either install the nprobe or the nprobes package
  but NOT both simultaneously.

You can find more info on the ntop site, or acquire licenses on the ntop e-shop.
