+===== Instructions to run TrisulNSM over the PCAPs =====
+==== Install Docker ====
+First install Docker on your host platform. We recommend Ubuntu 16.04 of CentOS 7.4. We have instructions on the [[https://www.trisul.org/devzone/doku.php/articles#docker|"Docker section on the articles Page"]]
+==== Download the PCAPs ====
+First choose a root directory to be used as the shared Docker "root" volume. Let us say we select ''/opt/trisulroot5'' as the base directory. You need to create a subdirectory inside that and put the PCAPs there.
+Here have downloaded the first 8 files into the directory  ''/opt/trisulroot5/wrccdc'' You can download as many as you want. Just make sure you have enough disk space for the results.
+<code>
+root@unpl:~# ls -lh /opt/trisulroot5/wrccdc/
+total 3.8G
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477M May 10 12:28 wrccdc.2018-03-23.010014000000000.pcap
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477M May 10 12:28 wrccdc.2018-03-23.010103000000000.pcap
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477M May 10 12:28 wrccdc.2018-03-23.010232000000000.pcap
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477M May 10 12:28 wrccdc.2018-03-23.010356000000000.pcap
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477M May 10 12:29 wrccdc.2018-03-23.010717000000000.pcap
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477M May 10 12:29 wrccdc.2018-03-23.010904000000000.pcap
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477M Mar 23 20:13 wrccdc.2018-03-23.011313000000000.pcap
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477M Mar 23 20:13 wrccdc.2018-03-23.011338000000000.pcap

+</code>
+==== Run the Docker image over the pcaps ====
+Next step is to run the ''trisulnsm/trisul6'' Docker image over the PCAPs that you have placed in the sub directory.  The first time you run this , docker will download the image over the network. So make sure you have internet access from the machine.
+<code>
+sudo docker run  --name=trisul1n \
+  --privileged=true --net=host -v /opt/trisulroot5:/trisulroot  \
+      -d trisulnsm/trisul6  --enable-file-extraction   \
+          --webserver-port 4000 --websockets-port 4003 \
+          --fine-resolution  \
+              --pcap  wrccdc
+</code>
+A quick note on the command line options we're using. For a complete list of options see [[https://github.com/trisulnsm/docker#options|github/trisulnsm]]
+|''--name'' | We give the instance a name of trisul1n. So it makes it easier to manipulate the system|
+|''--privileged''| Goes along with the ''--enable-file-extraction'' option. Used to dump suspected malicious files transferred over the network |
+|''--webserver-port 4000'' | We are using these two ports for web access rather than the default (3000,3003). Skip these flags if you're okay with 3000,3003. Also ensure the firewalls allow these ports|
+|''--fine-resolution''|Use 1-second timeseries data instead of the default 1-minute. We noticed that WRCCDC is very high traffic hence high-resolution timeseries is better for metrics|
+|''--pcap''|We use the name of the subdirectory ''wrccdc''. Recall that we put the PCAPs in the shared volume /opt/trisulroot5/wrccrc. This name is relative to the base  path.  Trisul will run over the PCAPs in this directory, then use Suricata to do a 2nd pass over it and re-index the data in Trisul|
+=== Wait for completion ===
+Now TrisulNSM is crunching the PCAPs. You can monitor the progress by running the following command.
+<code>
+docker logs -f trisul1n
+</code>
+The rough time taken in our very modest system was around 40 seconds per file.   When the processing finishes you will see something like this.
+<code>
+Finished elapsed : 328 seconds
+==== SUCCESSFULLY IMPORTED FROM PCAP REPO /trisulroot/wrccdc =====
+==== TO VIEW DASHBOARDS =====
+==== 1. login to the Web Trisul interface =====
+==== 2. select wrccdc1 on the Login Screen =====
+Started TrisulNSM docker image. Sleeping.
+</code>
+==== Next ====
+Thats it ! Now you are ready to analyze the network data using Trisul. That is [[offline:wrccdc_pcaps_results|Part 3 of this series]].
