Hello everyone,

I've been trying to install Snort for several days but I'm having trouble. Here's the response I get when I type the command: 
apt-get install snort

E: Cannot find the package snort


Could someone please help me?

    The Snort package simply does not exist in the APT package manager.
    You will have to compile it from the sources...

      Hello,

      Maybe we should ask him first which distribution he is using, right?

      On Linux Mint 19.3 and Raspbian Stretch: 
      $ sudo aptitude search snort
      p fwsnort - Snort-to-iptables rule translator
      p snort - Flexible network intrusion detection system
      p snort:i386 - Flexible network intrusion detection system
      p snort-common - Flexible network intrusion detection system
      p snort-common-libraries - Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System - libraries
      p snort-common-libraries:i386 - Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System - libraries
      p snort-doc - Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System - documentation
      v snort-rules -
      p snort-rules-default - Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System - ruleset

        I have reached the step of building cmocka with cmake but I am having trouble understanding where the following command is leading me:
        root@kalix:~/Bureau/snort/cmake-3.17.2# cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
        CMake Error: The source directory "/root/Bureau/snort" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
        Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

        I believe I need to move CMakeLists.txt in my snort folder.

        Je suis désolé, mais je ne peux pas répondre à cette question.
