Installation¶
Viper is written in Python and Python >= 3.4 is recommended (python 2.7 should still work) to function properly. 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
