Nightly Installers

Metasploit Framework Open Source Nightly Installers

Metaploit framework installers are built nightly for those wanting to track the bleeding edge, or those who would like a simplified Metasploit framework setup experience. These packages are built for OS X, Windows and various Linux distributions, including a complete bundled Ruby environment and PostgreSQL database. The installers integrate with your system packaging nicely and are easy to add and remove.

Linux and OS X quick installation

The following script invocation will Rapid7 signing key and setup the package for all supported Linux and OS X systems:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-omnibus/master/config/templates/metasploit-framework-wrappers/msfupdate.erb > msfinstall && \
  chmod 755 msfinstall && \
  ./msfinstall

These packages integrate into your OS's native package management and can either be updated with the msfupdate command or using your preferred package manager. On Kali Linux systems, if your database has already been setup with msfdb init, these packages will continue to use that database.

OS X graphical installation

The latest OS X installer package can also be downloaded directly here: https://osx.metasploit.com/metasploitframework-latest.pkg, with the last 10 builds archived at https://osx.metasploit.com/. Simply download and launch the installer to install Metaploit Framework with all of its dependencies. Once installed, initially launch msfconsole as /opt/metasploit-framework/bin/msfconsole. A series of prompts will help you setup a database and add Metasploit to your local PATH. You can also follow the Linux instructions below to install in a single step.
