Installation

Requirements

• Python >= 3.9

• A Java Runtime Environment (JRE 11+) on PATH or pointed to by JAVA_HOME. AutoPYara's clustering/rule-generation backend runs inside a JVM. pip install itself doesn't need Java, but constructing AutoPYara() will raise a clear error the first time you do so without one — install a JRE before you actually use the tool.

  On Debian/Ubuntu:

  sudo apt install default-jre
  

Install from PyPI

pip install autopyara

Install from a local build

python -m build
pip install dist/autopyara-*.whl

First run: the Bloom filter data

To keep the initial install lightweight, the package needs about 600MB of pre-trained Bloom filter data that isn't bundled in the distribution. You don't need to fetch this manually — the first time you import autopyara and the data is missing, it's downloaded automatically from the data-branch branch of the repository.

To trigger the download explicitly (for example, to pre-warm a Docker image):
