radare2 is portable.
To learn more on radare2 you may want to read the [official radare2 book](https://radare.gitbooks.io/radare2book/content/).

from other languages is by using [r2pipe](https://github.com/radare/radare2-r2pipe)

# Install / Update
# Dependencies
radare2 can be built without any special dependency, just
get a working toolchain (gcc, clang, tcc...) and use make.
Optionally you can use libewf for loading EnCase disk images.
To build the bindings you need latest valabind, g++ and swig2.
# Install
The easiest way to install radare2 from git is by running
the following command:
The recommended way to install or update radare2 from git for single-user systems:
$ sys/install.sh
If you want to install radare2 in the home directory without
using root privileges and sudo, simply run:
If you don't have root, or just want to install it in your home use:
$ sys/user.sh
# Building with meson + ninja
Note that those scripts will install using configure+make using symlinks, so you
don't need to reinstall everytime you change something in the builddir.
If you don't already have meson and ninja, you can install them
with your distribution package manager or with r2pm:
* If you don't like symlinks use `sys/install.sh --install`
* To use capstone5 use the `--with-capstone5` flag.
$ r2pm -i meson
Alternatively you can also build with meson + ninja:
If you already have them installed, you can run this line to
compile radare2:
$ ./sys/meson.py --prefix=/usr --shared --install
$ python ./sys/meson.py --prefix=/usr --shared --install
This method is mostly useful on Windows because the initial building
with Makefile is not suitable. If you are lost in any way, just type:
$ python ./sys/meson.py --help
# Update
To update Radare2 system-wide, you don't need to uninstall or pull.
Just re-run:
$ sys/install.sh
If you installed Radare2 in the home directory,
just re-run:
$ sys/user.sh
# Uninstall
## Uninstall
In case of a polluted filesystem, you can uninstall the current
version or remove all previous installations:

# Bindings
# Development
All language bindings are under the r2-bindings directory.
You will need to install swig and valabind in order to
build the bindings for Python, Lua, etc..
APIs are defined in vapi files which are then translated
to swig interfaces, nodejs-ffi or other and then compiled.
The easiest way to install the python bindings is to run:
$ r2pm install lang-python2 #lang-python3 for python3 bindings
$ r2pm install r2api-python
$ r2pm install r2pipe-py
In addition there are `r2pipe` bindings, which is an API
interface to interact with the prompt, passing commands
and receivent the output as a string, many commands support
JSON output, so its integrated easily with many languages
in order to deserialize it into native objects.
$ npm install r2pipe # NodeJS
$ gem install r2pipe # Ruby
$ pip install r2pipe # Python
$ opam install radare2 # OCaml
And also for Go, Rust, Swift, D, .NET, Java, NewLisp, Perl, Haskell,
Vala, OCaml, and many more to come!
# Regression Testsuite
Running `make tests` will fetch the radare2-regressions
repository and run all the tests in order to verify that no
changes break any functionality.
We run those tests on every commit, and they are also
executed with ASAN and valgrind on different platforms
to catch other unwanted 'features'.
# Documentation
There is no formal documentation of r2 yet. Not all commands
are compatible with radare1, so the best way to learn how to
do stuff in r2 is by reading the examples from the web and
appending '?' to every command you are interested in.
Commands are small mnemonics of few characters and there is
some extra syntax sugar that makes the shell much more pleasant
for scripting and interacting with the APIs.
You could also checkout the [radare2 book](https://radare.gitbooks.io/radare2book/content/).

Look at [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/radare/radare2/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
# Webserver
## Tests
radare2 comes with an embedded webserver which serves a pure
html/js interface that sends ajax queries to the core and
aims to implement an usable UI for phones, tablets and desktops.
Running `make tests` will fetch the [radare2-regressions](https://github.com/radare/radare2-regressions)
repository and run all the tests in order to verify that no changes break any functionality.
$ r2 -c=H /bin/ls
We run those tests on every commit, and they are also executed with ASAN
and valgrind on different platforms to catch other unwanted 'features'.
To use the webserver on Windows, you require a cmd instance
with administrator rights. To start the webserver, use the following command
in the project root.
> radare2.exe -c=H rax2.exe
