[MSF-Installer] Script to Automate Metasploit Framework Installation


Script to help with installing and configuring Metasploit Framework, Armitage and the Plugins I have written on OSX and Linux

To use the script on OSX Java, Xcode and Command Development Tools from Xcode must be installed before running the script. In the case of OSX I also added the option of installing GNU GCC in the case you want to compile the old Ruby 1.8.7 that requieres it. When you download the script you must make it executable, when ran with no arguments or with -h it will how the usage help message:

$ chmod +x msf_install.sh 
$ ./msf_install.sh -h
