“1 Preliminary Note
I have tested this on an Ubuntu 9.04 system. I will use the
hostname www.example.com for this system in this tutorial. We need
a web server on the system to display the graphs. I will install
Apache2 and use Apache’s default vhost for hosting the graphs. If
you use a different vhost, you might have to adjust its settings or
copy the smokeping.cgi script from /usr/lib/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi
to the appropriate location.

“I’m running all the steps in this tutorial with root
privileges, so make sure you’re logged in as root:

sudo su

“2 Installing Smokeping
To install Smokeping along with some other recommended packages, we
simply run:

aptitude install smokeping curl libauthen-radius-perl libnet-ldap-perl libnet-dns-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-telnet-perl libsocket6-perl libio-socket-inet6-perl apache2
