missing QTpackages after pip install vivisect
TomSomerville opened this issue · comments
After installing vivisect through pip on windows 11, vivisec it unable to run due to missing dependencies. PyQT5 and PyQtWebEngine
I had to execute the following in order to get vivisec to run:
pip install PyQt5
pip install PyQtWebEngine
Appears to execute OK afterwards
When you pip installed vivisect? Was it literally pip install vivisect, or was it pip install vivisect[gui]?
And how did you run vivisect? Was it with the -B option via python -m vivisect.vivbin -B <mybinary>? Or was it just python -m vivisect.vivbin <mybinary>?
Because we do break out the dependencies for running in a headless analysis mode vs a GUI mode, so if you're only running in headless mode, vivisect will really only work with the -B option because we don't by default install the Qt5 libraries to run the GUI.
I literally did pip install vivisect
followed by vivbin fd where fd is the elf binary I was looking at.
after performing pip install PyQt5 and pip install PyQtWebEngine I was able to execute vivbin fd
Ah. I see the problem. There was a request a while back that on default pip install we only install the headless portions. If you follow this: https://github.com/vivisect/vivisect#installing and this: https://vivisect.readthedocs.io/en/latest/vivisect/quickstart.html#installing it should walk you through the steps to install all in one.
But just default pip install vivisect will only give you the headless version. If you want the gui as well, you want pip install "vivisect[gui]"
