There is a very simple way to install SNMP v3 on Ubuntu/Debian, just run the following commands on your server:
apt install snmpd snmp libsnmp-dev -y
cp /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.bak
cat /dev/null > /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
service snmpd stop
net-snmp-create-v3-user -ro -A <your_password> -a SHA -X <your_encryption_password> -x AES <your_username>
systemctl start snmpd
systemctl enable snmpd
You should be able to return all data from your SNMP server using the following command (make sure you set your username, password and encryption password):
snmpwalk -v3 -a SHA -A <your_password> -x AES -X <your_encryption_password> -l authPriv -u <your_username> localhost | head
