Installation

Prerequisites

•   Rust and Cargo
•   Git
•   Unix-like environment (Linux, macOS, or Windows with WSL)

System Dependencies (Recommended)

To ensure all tools build and run correctly, install the following packages (especially for Linux/REMnux):

sudo apt install openssl libssl-dev clang yara libyara-dev pkg-config build-essential libglib2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev ssdeep

These are required for: - YARA and YARA-X support - Building Rust crates that link to native libraries (e.g., GUI dependencies) - TShark integration (via GTK/glib) - ssdeep is used for fuzzy hashing in tools like fileanalyzer. If not installed, fuzzy hash results may be unavailable.
