# Install Network Discovery - Linux

Most trials already include one hub and sensor. Use these instructions when you need to add a second or third Sensor, if you have additional networks, want to balance performance, or need redundancy.

## Prerequisites

- Review the [Discovery Hub and Sensor requirements](/docs/discovery-hub-and-sensor-requirements)
- Ensure this is the correct discovery system for your use case
- Review the [supported operating systems](/docs/install-network-discovery-linux#supported-operating-systems)

## Supported operating systems

**.deb packages**:

- Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04, 25.10, 26.04 (x64)
- Debian 12, 13 (x64)

**.rpm packages**:

- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8, 9, 10 (x64)
- CentOS Stream 9, 10 (x64)
- Fedora 42, 43, 44 (x64)
- (open)SUSE 16 (x64)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15 SP6 (x64, current and previous service pack)

## Install the sensor and hub

**SUSE**

1. In your preferred site, go to **Discovery > Systems > Download installers/packages**.
2. Select **Network Discovery > Download Lansweeper repository package** for the **Linux Red Hat** OS.
3. Open a terminal and install the repository package you copied to your machine:

```bash
sudo rpm -ivh ./lansweeper-repository.rpm
```
4. In your site, select **Systems > Link discovery system > Create new code**. Specify an expiration date, then select **Apply** and copy the generated code.

> [!NOTE]
> NOTE
> 
> The expiration date indicates when the linking code can no longer be used to establish a new connection between a site and your discovery system. Any existing connection between the system and your site will remain active after the expiration date.
5. Install the Network Discovery hub. Replace `YourCloudTokenHere` with your actual linking code and run:

```bash
sudo env LINKING_CODE=YourCloudTokenHere rpm -ivh lansweeper-network-discovery-hub
```
6. In your hub, go to **Settings** > **Data transfer** and copy your hub code.
7. Install the sensor. Replace `YourHubCodeHere` with your actual hub code and run:
8. ```bash
sudo rpm -ivh lansweeper-network-discovery-it-sensor
sudo rpm -ivh lansweeper-network-discovery-ot-sensor
```

## Next steps

Now that your hub and sensors are installed, you can [create a discovery credential](/docs/create-discovery-credentials) to access more asset details, [create a discovery action](/docs/create-a-network-discovery-action) to specify what to scan and when, and [manage discovery exclusions](/docs/manage-discovery-exclusions) to keep unwanted assets out of your inventory.
