Building from Source

Build from Source

1. On RHEL and Fedora make sure the packages 'openscap-utils' and 'python-lxml' and their dependencies are installed. We require version 1.0.8 or later of openscap-utils (available in RHEL) as well as git.

# yum install git openscap-utils python-lxml

2. Download our source code

$ git clone https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide.git

3. 'make' the SSG

$ cd scap-security-guide/RHEL/6 $ make $ cd output

4. Discover the following:

• A pretty prose guide in "rhel6-guide.html" containing practical, actionable information for administrators
• A concise spreadsheet representation (potentially useful as the basis for an SRTM document) in "rhel6-table-nistrefs-server.html"
• Files that can be ingested by SCAP-compatible scanning tools, to enable automated checking:
  • "rhel6-xccdf-scap-security-guide.xml"
  • "rhel6-oval-scap-security-guide.xml"
