This are some basic steps for install IP tables:-
1) Get the iptables tarball containing all the needed files.-
-To get the latest version of iptables go to netfilter.org
- Downloads are available at http://www.netfilter.org/downloads.html
- The file should be named iptables-1.*.*.tar.bz2 where the asterisks represent the numbers of the latest version.
-Save this file to a temporary directory, we will use /tmp in this example.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Open a terminal window.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Change your directory to where you saved iptables by typing:-
# cd /tmp
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Uncompress the archive to the /usr/src directory by typing:-
# tar -xvjf ./iptables-1.*.*.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src
where the asterisks represent the version number of the file you downloaded,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Change to the directory it created (typically iptables-1.*.*), by typing:-
# cd /usr/src/iptables-1.*.*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Using the kernel directories above, type:-
# /bin/sh -c make
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) To finish the install, type:-
# /bin/sh -c make install
- Iptables should now be installed, You can test the installation as described in the beginning of this section to see if it is working.
- If the above install steps seemed to execute without any error, but typing:-
# iptables -V
- Brings up an error, it is possible that the program did'n install itself to the sbin directory, To fix this type the following command from the iptables-1.*.* directory:
ComputerName:~# cp ./iptables /sbin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
