Access to data, control commands and workflows is offered via the\nXML-based Greenbone Management Protocol (GMP). Controlling scanners like\nthe [OPENVAS Scanner](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner)* is done via\nthe Open Scanner Protocol (OSP).\n\n- [Releases](#releases)\n- [Installation and Usage](#installation-and-usage)\n- [Support](#support)\n- [Maintainer](#maintainer)\n- [Contributing](#contributing)\n  - [Code style and formatting](#code-style-and-formatting)\n  - [CMake formatting](#cmake-formatting)\n- [License](#license)\n\n## Releases\n\nAll [release files](https://github.com/greenbone/gvmd/releases) are signed with\nthe [Greenbone Community Feed integrity key](https://community.greenbone.net/t/gcf-managing-the-digital-signatures/101).\nThis gpg key can be downloaded at https://www.greenbone.net/GBCommunitySigningKey.asc\nand the fingerprint is `8AE4 BE42 9B60 A59B 311C  2E73 9823 FAA6 0ED1 E580`.\n\n## Installation and Usage\n\nThis module can be configured, built and installed with following commands:\n\n```sh\ncmake .\nmake install\n```\n\nFor detailed installation requirements and instructions, please see the file\n[INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).
