How to install

Requirement

trepan3k works with Python version 3.2 and above. However the decompilation features are available for Python versions less than 3.9.

In general, runtime decompilation for Python greater than versions 3.8, especially decompilation around a given bytecode offset doesn’t exist. See this link for more information.

Using pip

If you are using pyenv or don’t need special root access to install:

$ pip install trepan3k

If you need root access you may insert sudo in front or become root:

$ sudo pip install trepan3k

or:

$ su root
# pip install trepan3k

trepan3k can also be installed in Python user install directory:

$ pip install --user trepan3k

Using easy_install

Basically the same as using pip, but change “pip install” to “easy_install”:

$ easy_install trepan3k # or trepan2 for Python 2.x

$ git clone https://github.com/rocky/python3k-trepan.git
$ cd python-trepan
$ make check-short # to run tests
$ make install # if pythonbrew or you don't need root access
$ sudo make install # if pythonbrew or you do need root access

Above I used GNU “make” to run and install. However this just calls python setup.py to do the right thing. So if you are more familiar with setup.py you can use that directly. For example:

$ ./setup.py test
$ ./setup.py install
