By edwin - Posted on 04 September 2009

As of this post the current version of nmap in the ubuntu repositories is 4.76. Here are the steps I used to install the new version 5.0 on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.

  1. sudo aptitude install build-essential
  2. sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
  3. mkdir src
  4. cd src
  5. wget -c http://nmap.org/dist/nmap-5.00.tar.bz2
  6. bzip2 -cd nmap-5.00.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
  7. cd nmap-5.00/
  8. ./configure
  9. make
  10. sudo make install

To run go to Applications > Internet > Zenmap (as root).
