SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ZMap is designed to run on GNU/Linux systems and can be built with most recent versions of gcc. Currently, ZMap only supports 64-bit systems. Running it requires at least 600 MB of free memory. INSTALLING ZMAP If you want to install it directly on Fedora 19+, just type yum install zmap If you want to install it on Archlinux, please visit AUR link: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zmap/ BUILDING ZMAP ZMap requires GMP, a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, gengetopt, and libpcap. ZMap also uses flex and byacc to generate the code for the output filter lexer and parser. On Mac, ZMap uses libdnet for gateway and route detection. These packages can be installed on Debian-based systems by running: sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libgmp3-dev gengetopt libpcap-dev flex byacc libjson-c-dev pkg-config or on RHEL- and Fedora-based systems by running: sudo yum install gmp gmp-devel gengetopt libpcap-devel flex byacc or on Mac OS systems (brew): brew install cmake gmp gengetopt json-c byacc libdnet Once these prerequisites have been installed, ZMap can be installed by running: cmake [-DWITH_REDIS=ON] [-DWITH_JSON=ON] [-DENABLE_DEVELOPMENT=ON] ./ make followed by: sudo make install Enabling development turns on debug symbols, and turns off optimizations. Release builds should but built with -DENABLE_DEVELOPMENT=OFF. Redis support is not enabled by default. If you are want to use ZMap with Redis, you will first need to install Hiredis. Then run cmake with "-DWITH_REDIS=ON". On some platforms, json-c must be installed from source. This requires git and autotools to be available. For more information on how to install json-c, please see http://github.com/json-c/json-c.
