What trouble did you have installing it? Did you receive any error messages? How were you trying to install it? Were you using a precompiled binary or were you trying to build zeek yourself? Ubuntu has a bro meta package but it may be a bit out-dated (looks like it might be 2.5.5). You can install that with `sudo apt install bro`. Building from source is pretty straightforward: - Grab a release here: [https://www.zeek.org/download/index.html](https://www.zeek.org/download/index.html) - Follow the installation instructions here: [https://docs.zeek.org/en/current/install/install.html](https://docs.zeek.org/en/current/install/install.html)   - Basically extract the archive, install some dependencies with apt, then do the usual "./configure && make && make install" dance Hope that helps. cmh ---
