Installing the Wazuh server using the assisted installation method

Install the Wazuh server as a single-node or multi-node cluster using the assisted installation method. The Wazuh server analyzes the data received from the agents triggering alerts when it detects threats and anomalies. This central component includes the Wazuh manager and Filebeat.

Wazuh server cluster installation

Download the Wazuh installation assistant.

# curl -sO https://packages.wazuh.com/4.9/wazuh-install.sh

Run the Wazuh installation assistant with the option --wazuh-server followed by the node name to install the Wazuh server. The node name must be the same one used in config.yml for the initial configuration, for example, wazuh-1.

Note

Make sure that a copy of the wazuh-install-files.tar, created during the initial configuration step, is placed in your working directory.
```
# bash wazuh-install.sh --wazuh-server wazuh-1
```

Your Wazuh server is now successfully installed.

If you want a Wazuh server single-node cluster, everything is set and you can proceed directly with Installing the Wazuh dashboard using the assisted installation method.
If you want a Wazuh server multi-node cluster, repeat this process on every Wazuh server node.

Next steps

The Wazuh server installation is now complete, and you can proceed with installing the Wazuh dashboard. To perform this action, see the Installing the Wazuh dashboard using the assisted installation method section.
