Installing
|
|
----------
|
|
Ideally, you should be able to just type:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
For far more in-depth compilation, installation, and removal notes, read the
|
|
[Nmap Install Guide](https://nmap.org/book/install.html) on Nmap.org.
|
|
|
|
Using Nmap
|
|
----------
|
|
Nmap has a lot of features, but getting started is as easy as running `nmap
|
|
scanme.nmap.org`. Running `nmap` without any parameters will give a helpful
|
|
list of the most common options, which are discussed in depth in [the man
|
|
page](https://nmap.org/book/man.html). Users who prefer a graphical interface
|
|
can use the included [Zenmap front-end](https://nmap.org/zenmap/).
