Installation

The installation of objection python component should be relatively simple. In fact, a simple git clone and pip install will suffice. Installing objection using only pip will be possible soon™.

prerequisites

Before continuing with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites met:

• python version 3.3+. Check your version with: python -V, upgrade/install using your distributions package manager.
• pip version 9.0. Check your version with: pip --version, upgrade with: pip install pip --upgrade.
• (optionally) virtualenv version 15+. Check your version with: virtualenv --version, upgrade/install with: pip install virtualenv --upgrade.

native installation

By 'native', we are referring to a non-virtualenv installation, where all of the objection dependencies will be installed in your operating systems module path. There is nothing wrong with this really, but some may prefer to have isolated environments for certain programs. If this is you, check out the next section.

1. Make sure your system meets the prerequisites detailed in the previous section.

2. Next, clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/sensepost/objection.git

3. Once cloned, cd to the new objection directory, and install the dependencies using pip. We will also pass on the --editable flag (until objection is uploaded to pypi) so that future updates are as simple as as git pull:

cd objection/

pip install --editable .
