MISP can be easily installed on any standard GNU/Linux distribution. Installation guides for various distributions are included in the [INSTALL directory](https://github.com/MISP/MISP/tree/2.4/INSTALL). If you did a git clone of MISP for the installation, an [UPDATE procedure is available](https://github.com/MISP/MISP/blob/2.4/INSTALL/UPDATE.txt) to keep your MISP up-to-date.
If you would like to test MISP and don't want to do an installation, CIRCL provides [VirtualBox images with MISP pre-installed for training](https://www.circl.lu/services/misp-training-materials/#misp-virtual-machine). The image can be used for production but we highly recommend to change the default credentials and salt pre-configured with such images.
We also generate automatically VMware images and VirtualBox at each MISP core commit. Available at the [following location](https://www.circl.lu/misp-images/latest/).
