newbie needs help installing nessus to test server security
I'm on Redhat 8.0.
I tried several times to install Nessus and have failed each time. The first two times I tried the auto install, which failed.
The third time I downloaded the sh file manually and ran sh nessus-installer.sh which unpacks the file, asks for the location, and then runs after a couple enters:
+ test -n ''
+ set +x
x -- Compiling
/bin/sh: line 1: lex: command not found
make[1]: yacc: Command not found
make[1]: *** [grammar.c] Error 127

What do I have to do?
