Get Your Own MISP Instance

This chapter helps you get your own MISP instance up and running. There are several ways to deploy MISP depending on whether you want a quick evaluation or a production instance; the authoritative, always-current instructions live on the MISP project download page and in the MISP repository, so this chapter points you at the right option rather than reproducing install steps that change between releases.

Choosing a deployment method

  • Official installer — the recommended way to run a production MISP on your own host. MISP provides an installer script and step-by-step guides for the supported operating systems (recent Ubuntu, Debian and RHEL-based distributions). Start from the download page.
  • Docker — for MISP 3.0 early access, use the misp-3.0_wip branch of misp-docker and build the images locally; no pre-built images are published for this deployment. Follow Quick Start for the configuration and build steps.
  • Cloud images — MISP can be deployed from cloud/marketplace images and with infrastructure-as-code; see the download page for the current options.

Whichever method you choose, keep the instance updated (see the FAQ and updating the Python libraries), and review the requirements chapter for the supported software versions.
