Before you proceed make sure you are using Ubuntu/Debian OS. This icinga documentation is done for Ubuntu/Debian Linux platform !

Icinga can now be installed as follows:

<code>
 # apt-get install icinga icinga-doc icinga-phpapi
</code>

You will be asked the following questions:


Apache servers to configure for icinga:<– apache2


Please provide the password to be created with the "icingaadmin" user. Icinga web administration password: <– icingaadmin_password  \\ 
Re-enter password to verify:<– icingaadmin_password


Configure database for icinga-idoutils with dbconfig-common? <– No


Afterwards you can access Icinga under  [[http://www.example.com/icinga/|http://www.example.com/icinga/]] . You will be asked for a username ( icingaadmin ) and the password you specified during installation:
