Inject JavaScript to explore native apps on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and QNX.

Installing from prebuilt binaries

This is the recommended way to get started. All you need to do is:

pip install frida # CLI tools and Python bindings
npm install frida # Node.js bindings

You may also download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from http://build.frida.re/frida/.

Building

Dependencies

For running the Frida tools (frida, frida-ls-devices, frida-ps, frida-trace, and frida-discover) you need Python plus a few packages:

pip3 install colorama prompt-toolkit pygments

Linux

make

Mac and iOS

First make a trusted code-signing certificate. You can use the guide at https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildingOnDarwin in the section “Creating a certificate”. You can use the name frida-cert instead of gdb-cert if you'd like.

Next export the name of the created certificate to the environment variables MAC_CERTID and IOS_CERTID and run make:

export MAC_CERTID=frida-cert
export IOS_CERTID=frida-cert
make

To ensure that OS X accepts the newly created certificate, restart the taskgated daemon:

sudo killall taskgated

Windows

frida.sln

(Requires Visual Studio 2015.)

See http://www.frida.re/docs/building/ for details.
