If you want to compile on Linux, just check out the source and run make
. You will need Jansson, wxWidgets, GTK+, Capstone, Lua, libunistring and Template Toolkit installed, along with their development packages (sudo apt install build-essential git libcapstone-dev libgtk-3-dev libjansson-dev libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev liblua5.3-dev libtemplate-perl libunistring-dev lua5.3 zip
on Ubuntu).
The resulting build can be installed using make install
, which accepts all the standard environment variables.
For Windows or Mac build instructions, see the relevant README: README.Windows.md README.OSX.md
