Nightly Installers

Metasploit Framework Nightly Installers

Metaploit framework installers are built nightly for those wanting to track the bleeding edge, or those who would like a simplified Metasploit framework setup experience. These packages are built for OS X, Windows and various Linux distributions, including a complete bundled Ruby environment and PostgreSQL database. The installers integrate with your system packaging nicely and are easy to add and remove.

Windows

The latest Windows installer is located here: http://windows.metasploit.com/metasploitframework-latest.msi, with the last 10 builds archived at http://windows.metasploit.com/. To install, simply download the .msi package, adjust AV appropriately to ignore c:\metasploit-framework, double-click and enjoy. msfconsole and related tools will be added to the system PATH. Use the msfdb command to manage initializing, starting or stopping the database. msfupdate will download and install the latest MSI, and msfremove will uninstall the package (or you can remove it as a normal MSI package).

OS X

Similarly, the latest OS X installer is located here: http://osx.metasploit.com. It works similarly to the Windows installer, except that you need to initially launch msfconsole as /opt/metasploit-framework/bin/msfconsole. An initial wizard will prompt for setting up a database and adding Metasploit to your local PATH. You can also follow the Linux instructions below to install in a single step.

Linux

Linux packages are built nightly for .deb (64-bit and 32-bit x86) and .rpm (64-bit x86) systems. Debian/Ubuntu packages are available at http://apt.metasploit.com and CentOS/Redhat/Fedora packages are located at http://rpm.metasploit.com. The following script invocation will Rapid7 signing key and setup the package for all supported Linux and OSX systems:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-omnibus/master/config/templates/metasploit-framework-wrappers/msfupdate.erb > msfinstall && \
  chmod 755 msfinstall && \
  ./msfinstall

These packages integrate into your OS's native package management and can either be updated with the msfupdate command or using your preferred package manager. On Kali Linux systems, if your database has already been setup with msfdb init, these packages will continue to use that database.
