Looks like perhaps you missed a step in the installation. Here is a suggestion:

  • Check that the path /usr/local/bin/notus-scanner executable is present in that location and that it has the necessary permissions.
  • Double-check that the dependencies required by the Notus Scanner are installed on the system.
  • Check for SELInux restrictions
