Manual installation¶
The installation of expliot
is straight-forward. At the moment there are
two options available. If you choose to download the archive then you are not
able to quick update to the latest version.
Requirements¶
Make sure that your system has Python 3 available. expliot
only runs with
Python 3. Also, there are a couple of other packages needed to compile various
bits and pieces.
Fedora¶
$ sudo dnf -y install redhat-rpm-config libusb glib2-devel python3 python3-devel
Ubuntu (Kali Linux, Lubuntu, etc.)¶
$ sudo apt-get install git libusb-1.0 libglib2.0-dev python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools
Debian 10¶
$ sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0 libglib2.0-dev python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools build-essential
BlackArch¶
All requirements are shipped by default.
Alpine Linux¶
It might be possible to make an installation but requires at lot of effort
because the system is using musl and pycrypto
heavily depends on Glib.
Download archive¶
Visit the EXPLIoT repository at GitLab and download the archive of your choice. After pressing the icon with the cloud and the arrow you can set the archive type. After the download unpack it.
Or use the command line:
$ curl -O https://gitlab.com/expliot_framework/expliot/-/archive/master/expliot-master.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf expliot-master.tar.gz
$ mv expliot-master expliot
Change into the expliot
directory and start the installation.
$ cd expliot
$ python3 setup.py install --user
Checkout from git¶
The fastest way to get a copy of expliot
is to clone the Git repository.
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/expliot_framework/expliot.git
$ cd expliot
$ python3 setup.py install --user
For system-wide installation, you can use sudo
and not use --user
.
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/expliot_framework/expliot.git
$ cd expliot
$ sudo python3 setup.py install
Warning
If you are performing the installation as root
, e.g., on Kali Linux,
then don’t use --user
.
# git clone https://gitlab.com/expliot_framework/expliot.git
# cd expliot
# python3 setup.py install
Troubleshooting¶
On some older debian-based systems like Ubuntu and its derivatives it might be needed that you adjust your
$PATH
environment variable to include~/.local
.Debian-based live systems, including the latest Kali Linux, running live have some limitations. Again, the executables in
~/.local
were not found. This means that you have to adjust your$PATH
environment variable or use~/.local/bin/expliot
.BlackArch Linux users need to create an additional user to install EXPLIoT. Don’t use
root
for the installation.If you are using Ubuntu then you need to logout and login after the installation.
