Installing the SRE clients

This section described how to install and use the SightHouse plugins made for the different Software Reverse Engineering (SRE) tools.

Ghidra

In order to run the SightHouse plugin, you will need at least Ghidra 11.3 as it now come with Python 3 support thought pyGhidra.

We advise you to launch for a first time ghidra before installing this plugin.

The easiest way to install the Ghidra plugin is to install the sighthouse-client package and then run the following commands.

pip install sighthouse-client
sighthouse client install ghidra --ghidra-install-dir /path/to/ghidra

It's also possible to install it from the repository:

git clone https://github.com/quarkslab/sighthouse
cd sighthouse/sighthouse-client
# Deactivate previous virtual env
deactivate

The script will search for pyGhidra virtual environment, install SightHouse client dependencies and then ask you where you want to copy your script.
