🐧Installation for Unix

Installing NetExec with pipx

Using pipx to install NetExec is recommended. This allows you to use NetExec and the nxcdb system-wide.

sudo apt install pipx git
pipx ensurepath
pipx install git+https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec

Open a new shell and you are ready to go:

NetExec
nxcdb

Installation for development using Poetry

You're going to need to install Poetry which is what nxc uses to manage dependencies. To install poetry you should use pipx, because our dynamic-versioning plugin will likely crash otherwise.

apt install pipx git
pipx ensurepath
pipx install poetry
poetry self add "poetry-dynamic-versioning[plugin]"
poetry dynamic-versioning enable

Now that poetry is set, up and we can download the NetExec repository and install its dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec
cd NetExec
poetry install
poetry run NetExec

Installing NetExec with pip

Using pipx over pip is recommended

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
git clone https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec
cd NetExec
python3 -m venv .
source bin/activate
pip install .
NetExec

Binaries

We recommend installing via pipx/pip, but if you want to use a pre-compiled binary, go to the Releases and download the appropriate binary.
