GitHub Releases​

Once downloaded for you platform from GitHub, extract the binary from the archive and you should be able to start collecting forensic data!

Build from Source​

You may also build artemis from source. In order build artemis you will need to install the Rust programming langague.

  • Instructions to install Rust can be found on the Rust Homepage.

Once Rust is installed you can download the source code for artemis using git:

git clone https://github.com/puffycid/artemis

Navigate to your downloaded repo and the cli directory and run:

// from the cli/ directory in the artemis repo
cargo build

By default cargo builds a debug version of the binary. If you want to build the release version (recommended) of the binary run:

cargo build --release

The release version will be much faster and smaller than the debug version. The compiled binary will be located at:

  • <path to artemis repo>\target\debug\artemis for the debug version
  • <path to artemis repo>\target\release\artemis for the release version

Alternatively, you may also install the command runner Just and run:

just cli
or for Windows
just --shell pwsh.exe --shell-arg -c cli
