Notes

To upgrade Nessus on FreeBSD you must first uninstall the existing version and then

install the newest release. This process will not remove the configuration files or files

that were not part of the original installation.

Installation

Download the latest version of Nessus from the Nessus download page or through the Tenable Support Portal. Confirm

the integrity of the installation package by comparing the download MD5 checksum with the one listed in the product

typically do not have the privileges required to install this software.
