NetXMS is a free and open-source network and infrastructure monitoring and management system. It provides a wide range of features for monitoring and managing networks, servers, applications, and services. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install NetXMS on macOS.
Open a terminal application.
Install Homebrew by running the following command in the terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

brew install openjdk@11 ant libxml2 libxslt gnutls gnutls-utils
Download the NetXMS source code from the official website by clicking on the "Download" button and selecting the latest stable version for macOS.
Extract the downloaded archive to a folder of your choice. In this tutorial, we will be using the folder "/opt/netxms" as an example.
