Install¶

Installing Dissect is easy. The preferred way of installing Dissect is with pip. The install procedure is described below.

System requirements¶

These are recommended system requirements. Dissect may still work on older systems but we do not actively test on those.

Before you install Dissect it is recommended to create a virtual environment.

$ pip install dissect

That’s all, you’re now ready to use Dissect. If you want to try it out, grab a test forensic image here.

If you don’t feel like doing the above, then there is an interactive browser demo available at try.dissect.tools to play around with!

Caution

The browser demo was developed as a quick demo and is bound to be unstable. Not everything might work as expected.
