Developer installation

Developer Installation

Slither currently runs requires at least Python3.8 so make sure you have a sufficiently up-to-date installation by running python --version. We recommend pyenv to manage python versions.

To start working on modifications to Slither locally, run:

git clone https://github.com/crytic/slither
cd slither
git checkout dev
make dev

This will create a virtual environment, ./env/, in the root of the repo.

To run commands using your development version of Slither, run:

source ./env/bin/activate

Setting up IDE-based debugging

1. Configure your IDE to use ./env/bin/python as the interpreter.
2. Use slither as the entrypoint for the debugger.
3. Pycharm specific: Set the environment working directory to ./env/bin/
