# 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
