Jon Siwek commented on BIT-1276:
--------------------------------

Currently, the DEB package from bro.org is just targeted for Debian 6 (and RPM for EL6), so yes, installing from from source (either via `git clone` for latest development version or a source-release tarball from bro.org) would be the way to go right now.

> Thank you for Bro.
