Install Red Hat

I am going to assume you have created a VM and installed Linux before it is very cut and dry. The only thing different is licensing Red Hat. In the install GUI of red hat under license you just put the same user email and password you have made for the site. If your having trouble follow this:

RHEL 8 VirtualBox Quick Install | Red Hat DeveloperRed Hat Developer

It is pretty much the same for any VM provider you use

After the Install of Red Hat

Install Splunk Soar

In red hat OS go to this link sign-in and grab the wget link for:

Splunk SOAR On-premises Unprivileged Oracle Linux/ RHEL 8

Splunk SOAR Free Trial | SplunkSplunk

Change to root

sudo -i

Under your home folder for example

After that is done downloading

Change to the /opt/ directory

cd /opt/

Now extract the Soar tar to the /opt/ directory

tar -xzvf <location of the file>

After install you should see this folder on /opt/

CD into the folder

Within that folder prepare the SOAR by

./soar-prepare-system --splunk-soar-home /opt/splunk-soar/ --https-port 8443

Hit "Y" for everything for defaults

Towards the end of the install it will ask for a password for the phantom user create one, you will need it later

Go back to the root directory

cd /

Change ownership to /opt/ directory to phantom (this worked for me if you get a perm denied doing it the video way)

chown phantom: /opt/

Now go back into the splunk-soar folder

cd /opt/splunk-soar/

Change to phantom user

su phantom

Once in the splunk-soar folder, run the soar-install

./soar-install --splunk-soar-home /opt/splunk-soar/ --https-port 8443

Its is good to follow what the warnings say, I am going to ignore the warnings and press "y"

Next it will ask if everything is correct hit "y"

After it is done installing (i was in the /opt/splunk-soar/ folder) switch to the bin folder

cd bin

In the bin menu there is a script you need to run to start the server

Run

./start_phantom

The server is running now

Go to the webapp by (the HTTPS:// is important, HTTP will take you no where):

https://localhost:8443 or <ip>:8443
