Bro is easy to install. Log in as root, and type:

     ./configure
     
or to install Bro in a location other than /usr/local/bro, use:
     ./configure --prefix=/path/to/bro
     
and then type:
     make
     make install
     

To update an existing Bro installation with new binaries and standard policy file, instead of "make install" do a "make update". This will preserve all your local customizations.

Also note that this documentation is installed in BROHOME/docs as both HTML and PDF versions.
