Enter each of the components directories and perform the following steps,

cd {component}
mkdir source
cd source
cmake ..
make
make install

openvas-mkcert
ldconfig
openvassd

Check that openvassd has started correctly and is running.

ps -ef | grep openvas

Lets sync NVT plugins and the vulnerability data.

openvas-nvt-sync
openvas-scapdata-sync
openvas-certdata-sync

Create a user account and client certificate.

openvasmd --create-user=admin --role=Admin
openvas-mkcert-client -n -i

Then check you have openvassd / openvasmd / gsad running.

openvasmd --rebuild --progress
openvasmd
gsad

ps -ef | grep openvas

And confirm each component is listening on its port.

netstat -anp | grep LISTEN

we have OpenVAS up and running its time to look at the web console,
