INSTALLATION OF ARMITAGE

Install the Metasploit Framework and its dependencies

Extract armitage

Change to the folder you installed armitage into

Use ./armitage to start Armitage

2.5 Windows

Windows is not a supported environment to run Armitage with the Metasploit Framework. You may connect Armitage on Windows to a team server hosted on Linux.

2.6 Manual Setup

If you choose to setup the Metasploit Framework and its dependencies by hand, here are a few hard and fast requirements to help you:

You need a PostgreSQL database. No other database is supported.

msfrpcd must be in $PATH

$MSF_DATABASE_CONFIG must point to a YAML file

$MSF_DATABASE_CONFIG must be available to msfrpcd and armitage

the msgpack ruby gem is required

Take a look at the following resources for help in this area:

Darkoperator's MSF Installer Script (MacOS X, Ubuntu, and Debian)

Setting Up a Metasploit Development Environment

^-- these instructions point you to another set of instructions to setup the database. They're probably fine, but don't use the supplied YAML file. It uses a lot of YAML features that Armitage can't parse or understand. Use the sample I provide instead.
