Setup
This section describes VAST from an operator perspective. We cover the different stages of the setup process that ultimately yield a running VAST instance. You have several options to enter the setup pipeline, based on what intermediate artifact you would like to begin with.
Quick Start
Want hands-on experience with VAST? Then continue with a quick tour below. 👇
Run VAST​
To get up and running quickly, we recommend using the static binary or Docker image:
- Static Binary
- Docker
If you have a Linux at your fingertips, just download and extract our package with a static binary:
mkdir /opt/vast
cd /opt/vast
wget https://github.com/tenzir/vast/releases/latest/download/vast-linux-static.tar.gz
mkdir -p /opt/vast
tar xzf vast-linux-static.tar.gz -C /opt/vast
export PATH="/opt/vast/bin:$PATH" # based on your shell, e.g., fish_add_path /opt/vast/bin
vast start
For a container deployment, use our official Docker image:
docker pull tenzir/vast
mkdir -p /tmp/db # persistent state
docker run -dt --name=vast --rm -p 5158:5158 -v /tmp/db:/var/lib/vast \
tenzir/vast start
Now that you have running VAST node, you can start ingesting data.
