Installing Cuckoo
*****************

Proceed with download and installation. Read What is Cuckoo? to learn
where you can obtain a copy of the sandbox.


Create a user
=============

You either can run Cuckoo from your own user or create a new one
dedicated just to your sandbox setup. Make sure that the user that
runs Cuckoo is the same user that you will use to create and run the
virtual machines, otherwise Cuckoo won't be able to identify and
launch them.

Create a new user:

   $ sudo adduser cuckoo

If you're using VirtualBox, make sure the new user belongs to the
"vboxusers" group (or the group you used to run VirtualBox):

   $ sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers cuckoo

If you're using KVM or any other libvirt based module, make sure the
new user belongs to the "libvirtd" group (or the group your Linux
distribution uses to run libvirt):

   $ sudo usermod -a -G libvirtd cuckoo


Install Cuckoo
==============

Extract or checkout your copy of Cuckoo to a path of your choice and
you're ready to go ;-).
