2022-09-16 11:22:44 -05:00
Generally, you should use [the free installer ](https://docs.metasploit.com/docs/using-metasploit/getting-started/nightly-installers.html ),
2015-03-29 01:08:06 -10:00
which contains all of the dependencies and will get you up and running with a
2022-09-16 11:22:44 -05:00
few clicks. See the [Dev Environment Setup ](https://docs.metasploit.com/docs/development/get-started/setting-up-a-metasploit-development-environment.html ) if
2014-04-11 15:55:18 -05:00
you'd like to deal with dependencies on your own.

Using Metasploit
--
Metasploit can do all sorts of things. The first thing you'll want to do
is start `msfconsole` , but after that, you'll probably be best served by
2024-03-14 12:08:36 +00:00
reading the basics of [using Metasploit ](https://docs.metasploit.com/docs/using-metasploit/basics/using-metasploit.html )
or [Metasploit Unleashed][unleashed].

walk you through the whole process from installing all the
2012-05-30 10:40:31 -05:00
dependencies, to cloning the repository, and finally to submitting a
