Installation
============

Viper is written in Python requires **Python >= 3.4**. As of Viper 2.0, Python 2.x is no longer supported. In this documentation we will use Debian GNU/Linux based distributions, such as Ubuntu, as a reference platform. The following installation instructions should apply similarly to other distributions and possibly to Mac OS X as well, although it has not been properly tested.

Before proceeding, you should make sure you have the basic tools installed to be able to compile additional Python extensions::

    $ sudo apt-get install gcc python3-dev python3-pip

In order to have support for certain modules, you will need to install the following dependencies too before proceeding::

    $ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev swig libffi-dev ssdeep libfuzzy-dev

To install Viper::

    $ git clone https://github.com/viper-framework/viper
    $ cd viper
    $ git submodule init
    $ git submodule update
    $ sudo make install


First launch
------------

If everything worked out fine, you should be able to launch Viper's shell without raising any exceptions, like following::

    nex@nex:~/$ ./viper-cli
             _
            (_)
       _   _ _ ____  _____  ____
      | | | | |  _ \| ___ |/ ___)
       \ V /| | |_| | ____| |
        \_/ |_|  __/|_____)_| v1.3
              |_|
