# Nessus

# Nessus quick install on Kali

To fire off a quick install on the Kali side, head to the Tenable downloads page and then copy the curl command to grab the installer, which will look something like:

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://www.tenable.com/downloads/api/v2/pages/nessus/files/Nessus-10.8.2-debian10_amd64.deb' \
  --output 'Nessus-10.8.2-debian10_amd64.deb'

# Kick off the install

sudo dpkg -i Nessus-x.deb

# Startup the Nessus service

sudo systemctl start nessusd.service

# Finish configuration

Then visit your install at https://your.nessus.ip.address:8834 and continue with the rest of the install and setup.
