I was trying to install snort and everytime I encounter a problem I tried to follow this link http://www.snort.org/assets/167/IDS_deb_snort_howto.pdf but then I realized that it cannot be applied on ARM architecture !

How does sudo apt-get install snort fail?– joanCommented May 13, 2014 at 10:43

the problem is with the dotdeb packages !! it doesn't support ARM architecture only i386 and amd !– user12448Commented May 13, 2014 at 10:46

Are you saying that you did a sudo apt-get install snort and it failed? Which distribution?– joanCommented May 13, 2014 at 10:54

the current distribution is Debian/Raspbian.– user12448Commented May 13, 2014 at 11:12

There's a Raspberry Pi security tutorial based on ArchLinux, that includes step 13 "Snort installation".
Basically all you have to do is:
$ sudo pacman -S snort
Please, follow the instruction as close as you can.

this is the half of the answer thanks :) ... and what about Debian OS (Raspbian) ? Commented May 13, 2014 at 11:11

for raspbian you're supposed to use
sudo apt-get install snort, however I could not find any tutorial that I can recommend.– lenikCommented May 13, 2014 at 11:20
sudo apt-get install snort
works for me on a Raspbian Pi.
I'd be amazed if it didn't also work on my Debian Pi (but I can't be bothered to try and see).
@lenik's answer would be correct, if not for the AUR repository to not have an ARMv6 build available for snort, which is what we need for the raspberry pi. This topic describes how to build the needed package yourself with the source tarball from the AUR repository: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36314&p=305583
Building this on the Pi will take about 1 hour, be warned :-)
I imagine the Raspbian repository has the same issue. I'm still setting up everything myself, but am wondering whether it will work reasonably in the end. Since no one seems to be making Pi-compatible ARMv6 packages for Snort, perhaps it will just be too slow to run it...
I am writing an educational Guide about Snort on Raspeberry PI, and Used two tutorials that worked fine for me:
Tut 1 Installing SNORT by (Computer and Network Security)
Using sudo aptitude install snort <---- easy way
TUt 2 downloading all the packages from snort's website and compiling them <---Long way Part 1 Snort Install on Ubuntu 14.04LTS Part 1 Part 2 Snort Install on Ubuntu 14.04LTS Part 2

1Welcome to Raspberry Pi! Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. Commented Aug 10, 2015 at 17:12
