Note

Make sure your system is up to date by updating it with your systems package manager.

Prerequisites

Before installing H4X-Tools, you need to have Python 3, Git, and pip installed on your system. Most Linux distributions come with Python pre-installed, but you may need to install Git and pip manually.

Installing Python, Git, and pip

Use your distribution's package manager to install the necessary packages. Here are the commands for some common distributions:

Debian/Ubuntu/ZorinOS:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git python3 python3-pip python3-virtualenv

Fedora/Redhat:

sudo dnf install git python3 python3-pip python3-virtualenv

Arch-based distributions:

sudo pacman -S git python python-pip python3-virtualenv

Void Linux:

sudo xbps-install git python3 python3-pip python3-virtualenv

Others:

For other distributions, please consult their respective documentation or community forums for installation instructions.

Installing H4X-Tools

Once you have the prerequisites installed, follow these steps to install H4X-Tools:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/vil/h4x-tools.git

2. Navigate to the H4X-Tools directory:

   cd h4x-tools

3. Execute the setup script:

   sh setup.sh

   The setup script will guide you through the installation process, which includes creating a virtual environment, installing dependencies, and building the tool. If you encounter any issues during this process, ensure that all dependencies are correctly installed and that you have the necessary permissions.

After a successful installation, H4X-Tools will be located in /usr/local/bin/, allowing you to run it by simply typing h4xtools in the terminal.

Important

If you receive errors such as EXAMPLE not found, you may need to install additional dependencies using your package manager.

Updating

To update H4X-Tools to the latest version, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the H4X-Tools directory:

   cd ~/h4x-tools

   The path may be different depending on where you cloned the repository during the installation.

2. Run the update.sh Script:

   sh update.sh

   This will automatically run the needed commands to update the toolkit. You can also do it manually by executing the following:

   git fetch && git pull

   sh setup.sh

   This will rebuild the toolkit to use the latest version.

Using Pre-Built Executables

If you prefer not to build H4X-Tools from source, you can download pre-built executables from the Releases page.

Download the latest release for your operating system and do the following:

1. Make the toolkit executable runnable:

   chmod +x h4xtools

2. Run the toolkit:

   ./h4xtools

It's recommended to verify the integrity of the downloaded file by checking its MD5 hash. You can do this by comparing the hash with the one provided on the releases page.
