There are three steps that are necessary to set up Source++:

1. Boot the Source++ Live Platform
2. Attach the Source++ Agent
3. Connect the Source++ Plugin

The first step is to boot the Source++ Live Platform. The following instructions will walk you through the process of booting the platform. The recommended approach for booting the platform is via Docker.

• Docker
• Docker Compose

1. Download the docker-compose.yml file into a new empty directory (can be anywhere).

   mkdir ~/spp-platform && cd ~/spp-platform
   curl -OL "https://raw.sourceplus.plus/live-platform/master/docker/docker-compose.yml"

2. Start services

   docker-compose up -d

If installation fails, check the list of common installation issues. If your problem is not listed, please open a new issue or discussion on GitHub, and we will try to help you.

Once the platform is successfully booted, the next step is to attach the Source++ Live Probe. Continue to the next section for instructions on how to attach the probe.
