Installation

The Network Traffic Collector does not usually have to be installed or run as root, although you must install its prerequisites libcurl and the Perl libraries as root.

To install the collector

1. Copy the binary file ccnetcollect onto the Network Collector server.
   This can be placed anywhere, but typically should be the home directory of the user you wish to run it as.
2. Ensure that libcurl is present on the system
3. Generate a sample configuration file by running the following command from the directory used in step 1:
           ./ccnetcollect -sampleconfig > ccnetcollect.conf
4. Edit the ccnetcollect.conf file according to the instructions in Configuration.
