How to install on Windows 10

bmmojo opened this issue · comments

Hey, a beginner at this I was wondering if anyone could help me install this on my Windows 10?
I'm really not getting it... Thanks in advance!

There is nothing to install. You simply run the tool from the command line. Let me know if you have further questions beyond that.

Hi @bmmojo

As mentioned above, there's nothing to install for this tool. You can download the latest compiled version of chainsaw from the releases page: https://github.com/countercept/chainsaw/releases

You can then just unzip the binary and run the tool directly. Feel free to re-open this issue if you have any issues.

Hey @FranticTyping @AndrewRathbun Thanks for the reply. Apology for replying back so late.

I downloaded chainsaw_8664-pc-windows-msvc.zip however when I run chainsaw.exe nothing shows up unfortunately am I missing something?

I'm trying to run this on a Windows 10 Pro license on a Hyper-V VM.

@bmmojo you need to run it from the command line, like this:

cmd_7Q3QZIb8H6

You can see the help info for the subcommands by doing this:

cmd_tmqJD4nFXC
