git clone https://github.com/alertflex/altprobe.git
cd ./altprobe

  • Fill in the Altprobe specific parameters in the env.sh file. You can use the provided example file env_example.sh as a reference. If you are planning to install Altprobe on the Cnode as an Appliance configuration, use the example file env_appliance.sh.

  • Start the installation process by running the next commands:

chmod u+x install_from_source_ubuntu20.sh
./install_from_source_ubuntu20.sh

After completing the software installation, follow these steps:

  • Make a copy of the file “Broker.pem” to the directory “/etc/altprobe/”. You can do this by running the following command:
