I have been asked to spin up minemeld on Linux, but everything I find seems quite dated. The only link I found dates back to 2017 and suggests installing on Ubuntu 14.04. Can anybody nudge me in the right direction?

Hi @martyjeff ,

The Open-source Minemeld is no longer supported officially by Palo so it will be difficult to find up-to-date documentation. Do you have any specific questions regarding Minemeld?

@martyjeff,

I love MineMeld and I was a big advocate of it's functionality, but I can't recommend setting up a new instance of it when it's as outdated as it is if you don't have processes built around it already. I also absolutely would not install it natively at this point; if you're going to use it at all spin it up as a docker image and run it like that so at least the base OS can still be supported.
