## Chapter 2. Installing Lire

Lire supports various installation environments. This chapter contains all there is to know about the installation of Lire in various setup scenarios: from the simple client setup to the installation of an online responder. You can find some quick installation instructions in the `INSTALL` file. Installation notes about specific platforms (Debian GNU/Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, etc.) can be found in the Lire FAQ.

## Client Installation

The simplest setup to install Lire in a client-server scenario is where the log files are sent by email to an online responder for processing.

### Tip

You can test Lire by using Stichting LogReport Foundation's online responder available at `<log@`service`.logreport.org.>`. (To process sendmail log files, send them to `<log@sendmail.logreport.org>`).

### Requirements

To use Lire in such a setup, you only need a mailer (any will do) and an email address where the generated report can get sent to.

### Installing

No special installation is necessary. You can generate reports by sending the log files to the responder right away. Consult the the section called “Using A Responder” for the complete story.
