Rapid7 distributes Metasploit Pro as an executable file for Linux and Windows operating systems. Download and run the executable to install Metasploit Pro on your local machine or on a remote host, like a web server. Regardless of where you install Metasploit Pro, you always access the user interface through a web browser. Metasploit Pro uses a secure connection to connect to the server or machine that runs it.
If you install Metasploit Pro on a web server, users can use a web browser to access the user interface from any location. Users will need the address and port for the server that Metasploit Pro uses. By default, the Metasploit service uses port 3790. You can change the port that Metasploit uses during the installation process. So, for example, if Metasploit Pro runs on 192.168.184.142 and port 3790, users can use
https://192.168.184.142:3790 to launch the user interface.
If Metasploit Pro runs on your local machine, you can use localhost and port 3790 to access Metasploit Pro. For example, type
https://localhost:3790 in the browser URL box to load the user interface.
