Installing Prelude-Correlator

Install

You might install Prelude-Correlator as root:

   # python setup.py install

Or as an user:

   $ python setup.py install --prefix /prefix/where/prelude-correlator/should/be/installed

This will install files into the directories that were specified in step 1. Make sure that you have appropriate permissions to write into that area. Normally you need to do this step as root. Alternatively, you could create the target directories in advance and arrange for appropriate permissions to be granted.

More information on configuration and writing correlation rules can be found on the PreludeCorrelator page.
