This documentation explains how to install Python binding for Unicorn from source. If you want to install it from PyPi package, see the below docs instead: - README.pypi-src: How to compile the Unicorn core & install binding at the same time from PyPi package "unicorn" - README.pypi-win: How to install binding for Windows from PyPi package "unicorn-windows". Note that this package already has prebuilt core inside, so no compilation is needed. 0. Install the core engine as dependency Follow README in the root directory to compile & install the core. On *nix, this can simply done by: $ sudo ./make.sh install 1. To install pure Python binding on *nix, run the command below: $ sudo make install To install Python3 binding package, run the command below: (Note: this requires python3 installed in your machine) $ sudo make install3 This directory contains some sample code to show how to use Unicorn API. - sample_.py These code show how to access architecture-specific information for each architecture. - shellcode.py This shows how to analyze a Linux shellcode. 2. To install Python binding on Windows: Recommended method: Use the Python module installer for 32/64 bit Windows from: http://www.unicorn-engine.org/download.html Manual method: If the module installer fails to locate your Python install, or if you have additional Python installs (e.g. Anaconda / virtualenv), run the following command in command prompt: C:\> C:\location_to_python\python.exe setup.py install Next, copy unicorn.dll from the 'Core engine for Windows' package available on the same Unicorn download page and paste it in the path: C:\location_to_python\Lib\site-packages\unicorn\
