Download the latest Monit release from the download area

Installing Monit:

 $ tar zxvf monit-x.y.z.tar.gz (were x.y.z denotes version numbers)
 $ cd monit-x.y.z
 $ ./configure (use ./configure --help to view available options)
 $ make && make install

By default Monit is installed in /usr/local/bin/ and the monit.1 man-file in /usr/local/man/man1/. To change the default location use the --prefix option to ./configure
