Pacu [Option #3] Install without Git

Christophe August 27, 2023

The final installation method I’ll show you is how to install it from the GitHub repo, but without using Git. This is not my favorite method and I’d recommend the prior methods instead, but if it works for you then feel free to use it!

You’ll download Pacu as an archive file by using this command:

curl "$(curl https://api.github.com/repos/RhinoSecurityLabs/pacu/releases/latest|grep zipball_url|awk '{print $2}'|tr -d '",') > pacu.zip
Code language: PHP (php)

This is using the utility curl to download the zip archive to your computer.

You’ll then run this command:

mv RhinoSecurityLabs-pacu-7676225 pacu && cd pacu

…and then just like in the prior option, you will run:

cd pacu && pip install -r requirements.txt

To install its pip dependencies.

My pip setup is so messed up that this doesn’t work, but if it works for you, you should be able to run ./clip.py to start Pacu.

Again, not my favorite installation method, but if none of the other options work or if you need to do it this way for any other reason, you have the option.
