researchers. Learn more at frida.re.
Two ways to install
1. Install from prebuilt binaries
This is the recommended way to get started. All you need to do is:
pip install frida-tools # CLI tools
pip install frida # Python bindings
npm install frida # Node.js bindingsYou may also download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from
Frida's releases page on GitHub.
2. Build your own binaries
Run:
makeYou may also invoke ./configure first if you want to specify a --prefix, or
any other options.
CLI tools
For running the Frida CLI tools, e.g. frida, frida-ls-devices, frida-ps,frida-kill, frida-trace, frida-discover, etc., you need a few packages:
pip install colorama prompt-toolkit pygments websocketsApple OSes
First make a trusted code-signing certificate. If you have already used Xcode
before, chances are you already have an Apple development certificate.
You can check it with the following command:
security find-identity -v -p codesigningWhich will return the certificate in the following format:
1) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "Apple Development: [email protected] (YYYYYYYYYY)"If you do not have a certificate, follow this guide:
https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev154b28f09.
Next export the name of your certificate to relevant environment
variables, and run make:
export MACOS_CERTID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
export IOS_CERTID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
export WATCHOS_CERTID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
export TVOS_CERTID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
