Which version should I choose: Nightly or Stable?​

Nightly versions of artemis are built every day using GitHub Actions. Nightly versions are actually stable enough for daily usage.

Stable releases are typically released every 2-3 months. Nightly and Stable versions go through the same tests and release process.

Packages​

As of version 0.14.0 you may also install stable release artemis on your system.
Currently supported distribution packages are:

  • RPM and DEB for Linux distros
  • PKG for macOS
  • MSI for Windows

All packages except for MSI are signed. You can verify RPM and DEB files by importing the public key.
Ex: rpm --import public.asc and then run rpm -q -id artemis to check if signed

On macOS you can verify the PKG is signed and notarized via spctl --assess -vv --type install Artemis-*.pkg or using WhatsYourSign

Supported Systems​

Currently artemis has been tested on the following types of systems:

  • Windows 8.1 and higher. Arch: 64-bit and ARM
  • macOS Catalina and higher. Arch: 64-bit and ARM
  • Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux. Arch: 64-bit and ARM

Additional platforms​

Artemis also supports the following platforms:

  • FreeBSD
  • NetBSD
  • Android
  • Linux RISC-V
  • Windows ARM

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

Please see the Contributing documentation if you would like to compile the entire project including optional experimental components
