In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Patrowl on macOS. Patrowl is an open-source threat intelligence platform that helps to centralize, classify and correlate threat feeds.
Before proceeding, you should have the following items:
Open your Terminal application on your macOS system.
Install the required dependencies for Patrowl by running the following command:
$ brew install libxml2 libxslt
Clone the Patrowl repository from GitHub by running the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/Patrowl/PatrowlManager.git
Navigate to the cloned directory by running the following command:
$ cd PatrowlManager
Create a virtual environment for Patrowl by running the following command:
$ python3 -m venv venv
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
$ source venv/bin/activate
Upgrade pip by running the following command:
$ pip install --upgrade pip
Install the required Python packages by running the following command:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Create a configuration file for Patrowl by copying the example configuration file:
$ cp config.example.py config.py
Open the config.py file and update the required fields, such as the database settings and API keys.
Initialize the database by running the following command:
$ python3 manage.py initdb
Start the Patrowl server by running the following command:
$ python3 manage.py runserver
The Patrowl server should now be running. You can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://127.0.0.1:5000.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps to install Patrowl on macOS. Now, you can start using Patrowl to centralize, classify, and correlate threat feeds.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
