Installation of Program

Nmap: I choose to install Nmap because it scans for vulnerabilities on your network, performs inventory checks, and monitors host or service uptime, alongside many other useful networking and port features.

First I updated the Ubuntu packages on the device using: sudo apt-get update

Next, I ran the installer: sudo apt-get install nmap

After the installation I checked the version number and that it was properly installed: namp --version

Lastly, I ran a Nmap scan: nmap [hostname] or nmap [ip_address]
