Installing Linux and macOS

The quick installation script will import the Rapid7 signing key and set up the package for all supported Linux and macOS systems:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-omnibus/master/config/templates/metasploit-framework-wrappers/msfupdate.erb > msfinstall && chmod 755 msfinstall && ./msfinstall

The packages will integrate into the OS's native package management and can either be updated with the msfupdate command or by using your preferred package manager.

How to do it...

The full installation process is as follows:

# curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-omnibus/master/config/templates/metasploit-framework-wrappers/msfupdate.erb > msfinstall && \
> chmod 755 msfinstall && \
> ./msfinstall
