# Frida



Dynamic instrumentation toolkit for developers, reverse-engineers, and security

researchers. Learn more at [frida.re](https://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 bindings



You may also download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from

Frida's [releases](https://github.com/frida/frida/releases) page on GitHub.



## 2. Build your own binaries



Run:



    make



You 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



### Apple OSes



First make a trusted code-signing certificate. You can use the guide at

https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/PermissionsDarwin in the sections

“Create a certificate in the System Keychain” and “Trust the certificate

for code signing”. You can use the name `frida-cert` instead of `gdb-cert`

if you'd like.



Next export the name of the created certificate to relevant environment

variables, and run `make`:



    export MACOS_CERTID=frida-cert

    export IOS_CERTID=frida-cert

    export WATCHOS_CERTID=frida-cert

    export TVOS_CERTID=frida-cert

    make



To ensure that macOS accepts the newly created certificate, restart the

`taskgated` daemon:



    sudo killall taskgated
