Download the latest version, it should be 0.1.3 right now.

fetch http://sagan.softwink.com/download/sagan-0.1.3.tar.gz

Unpack where yo want it,

tar -xvf sagan-0.1.3.tar.gz

Next do the old configure make, but you need to add some environmental settings. (The install file does not handle this yet)

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure && make && make install

Once that is completed you need to download the rule sets and configure sagan, check out the how-to on the site.

Also you will need to install syslog-ng and setup a fifo, again this is covered in the how-to.

Once you have the rules setup and the the fifo, you are basically ready to go. I am using the email output to send the alerts for now, but I am going to need to start tuning soon.

I also setup a rc script to control the service.
