Requirements - ashish-gehani/SPADE GitHub Wiki

This page lists the requirements for setting up SPADE on various operating systems. In all cases, the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK 11, 12, 13, or 14) is required to compile SPADE. This can be downloaded from OpenJDK. Installation instructions for different platforms are given below.

Linux

Ubuntu

On Ubuntu 18, the JDK can be installed with:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y openjdk-11-jdk

In addition to the JDK, building SPADE requires that you have Git installed on your system. It is used to download the source files for compilation. You will also need Linux Audit, FUSE, lsof, and uthash. On Ubuntu, all of these can be installed via the following command:

sudo apt-get install -y auditd bison clang cmake curl flex fuse git ifupdown libaudit-dev libfuse-dev linux-headers-`uname -r` lsof pkg-config unzip uthash-dev wget

Fedora

For Fedora 34, use the following commands to install the JDK:

sudo dnf install -y java-11-openjdk-devel.x86_64

Other dependencies can be installed with:

sudo dnf install -y audit audispd-plugins bison clang cmake curl flex fuse-devel fuse-libs git iptables kernel-devel-`uname -r` lsof unzip uthash-devel wget

macOS

For macOS, the following commands can be used to install the JDK (if no other JDK already present):

curl -o openjdk-11.0.2_osx-x64_bin.tar.gz https://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk11/9/GPL/openjdk-11.0.2_osx-x64_bin.tar.gz
tar -zxvf openjdk-11.0.2_osx-x64_bin.tar.gz
sudo mv jdk-11.0.2.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

If you are using macOS, you will need Git to retrieve the SPADE source files.

Fuse4X is required, unless you already have MacFUSE installed.

Using MacPorts, you can install the required packages with the following command:

sudo port install git fuse4x pkgconfig

Alternatively, you can use Brew to install the required package with:

brew install git pkgconfig Caskroom/cask/osxfuse

Windows

To use the ProcMon reporter for Windows, you will need to download and install Process Monitor.

WSL

On Windows, SPADE can be installed using WSL. Select the Ubuntu distribution. Then install the JDK with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk

Building SPADE also requires Git to be installed. It is used to download the source files for compilation. Further, uthash is also needed. In an Ubuntu shell, these can be installed with:

sudo apt-get install git pkg-config uthash-dev

Cygwin

Alternatively, SPADE can be installed using Cygwin. Detailed instructions on setting up Cygwin can be found on its homepage. The following Cygwin packages are required:

  • gcc (under the Devel category)
  • gcc-core (under the Devel category)
  • make (under the Devel category)
  • git (under the Devel category)
  • tar (under the Base category)
  • wget (under the Web category)
