# INSTALL

## Prerequisites

- (Optional but highly recommended: [rbenv](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv))
- Ruby >= 3.3 - Recommended: latest stable
- Curl >= 7.72 - Recommended: latest stable
  - The 7.29 has a segfault
  - The < 7.72 could result in `Stream error in the HTTP/2 framing layer` in some cases
- RubyGems - Recommended: latest stable
- Nokogiri might require packages to be installed via your package manager depending on your OS, see https://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html

### In a Pentesting distribution

When using a pentesting distribution (such as Kali Linux), it is recommended to install/update wpscan via the package manager if available.

### In macOSX via Homebrew

```shell
brew install wpscanteam/tap/wpscan
```

### From RubyGems

WPScan depends on gems with native extensions (e.g. `yajl-ruby`, `nokogiri`, `ffi`), so a working C toolchain and Ruby development headers must be present before `gem install wpscan`. Without them, the install fails with errors like `Failed to build gem native extension` or `make: x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc: No such file or directory` (see [#1844](https://github.com/wpscanteam/wpscan/issues/1844)).

- **Debian / Ubuntu**:
  ```shell
  sudo apt install build-essential ruby-dev
  ```
- **Fedora / RHEL / CentOS**:
  ```shell
  sudo dnf install @development-tools ruby-devel
  ```
- **Arch Linux**:
  ```shell
  sudo pacman -S base-devel ruby
  ```
- **Alpine**:
  ```shell
  sudo apk add build-base ruby-dev
  ```
- **macOS**: install the Xcode Command Line Tools (`xcode-select --install`).

Then install the gem:

```shell
gem inst
