You can download either download a VMWare image (OVA) or run through the 'Source Install' to get it going. Nagios will install on CentOS6/7 or RHEL6/7. You can find more info here

The videos on the page above are pretty good intros as well.
We have plenty of tutorials available for installing XI here -

The other option is Nagios Core, which is our opensource product.

It is powerful, but requires a bit more 'manual' setting up. Nagios XI still runs this under the hood, but provides an easier way to utilize the Nagios interface.
