How to install MISP on Ubuntu

If you are looking to install MISP for work or on your home lab, then this quick guide might be of use for you.

You can always find the official documentation here: https://github.com/MISP/MISP/tree/2.4/INSTALL

I will try to summarize it the best I can for easiest installation, I am using Ubuntu so the commands I run will be directly related to that installation guide. If you want the installation instructions for another Linux distro to deploy MISP, then look here: https://misp.github.io/MISP/

MISP has done a good job in creating install scripts that do most if not all the work for you.

You can easily run the following to do about 99% of the configuration for you.

wget -O /tmp/INSTALL.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MISP/MISP/2.4/INSTALL/INSTALL.sh bash /tmp/INSTALL.sh 

wget -O /tmp/INSTALL.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MISP/MISP/2.4/INSTALL/INSTALL.sh bash /tmp/INSTALL.sh -c

Once the deployment finishes, you should be able to navigate to the IP or hostname of the machine you deployed MISP on. Example, https://hostname or https://IP_address.

At the login screen you should use the following default credentials, this will then prompt you to change the default admin password.

Username: [email protected]
Password: admin

Congratulations! At this point you should have the base installation of MISP and will be ready to go!
