## Anonymized Client Installation

Although the client-only setup is the easiest to install and use, some people might understandably be worried about sending log files that may contain sensitive data to a public online responder. That is why Lire supports anonymizing of log files. In an anonymized client setup, hostnames, emails and IP addresses in the log files are anonymized before being sent to the responder. The responder replies with a report in the Lire XML report format which is then de-anonymized by the client and transformed into the appropriate output format.

### Requirements

The anonymized client installation has the same requirements as a standalone installation (see the section called “Standalone Installation”). Like in the Standalone Installation, those will vary according to the output format you want to support.

Additionally, to support the anonymizing process, you will need Berkeley DB™ and the `DB_File` perl module. This module is part of the standard perl installation, but on proprietary UNIX systems you may have to install it separately.

### Installing

There is no difference between the anonymized client installation and the Standalone Installation procedure. Consult the section called “Standalone Installation”.
