See INSTALL.rst for dependencies and detailed instructions. Briefly:
If you are building from Git, run this first:
autoreconf -i
Then, build it like a normal source distribution:
./configure make && make install
Copy the sample configuration file examples/sshguard.conf.sample and follow the setup instructions in sshguard-setup(7). See sshguard(8) for additional options.
See CONTRIBUTING.rst for both people who want to write code, and those who do not.
sshguard is available under the terms of the OpenBSD license, which is based on the ISC License. See COPYING for details.
