Installing Faraday¶
Step 1 - Downloading Faraday Installer¶
Download the Faraday installer (.deb or .rpm) from:
- Faraday Portal for Professional/Corporate
Step 2 - Installing the package¶
Go to your Download directory and run the following command:
# For .deb
sudo dpkg -i ./faraday-server_amd64.deb
Step 3 - Adding User to faraday Group¶
Once installed, add your user to the faraday group and re-login:
sudo usermod -aG faraday $USER
Step 4 - Initializing the Database (first time only)¶
Initialize the DB, use it for Faraday Web UI and change it:
faraday-manage initdb
Importing License¶
faraday-manage import-license
Or, in isolated servers, download the license file from the portal and place it in /home/faraday/.faraday/doc/. Remove old license files from the doc folder when renewing the license:
tar xvf {license file}.tar.gz
Post Install (First Time Only)¶
Start the Faraday server by running:
systemctl start faraday-server
systemctl enable faraday-server
systemctl start faraday-worker
systemctl enable faraday-worker
systemctl start faraday-worker-reports
systemctl enable faraday-worker-reports
We highly recommend checking our First Steps guide and the Advanced Install guide for starting Faraday using nginx and expose ssl certificates.
