Installing Sleuth Kit in Windows

Autopsy Help
1

I have downloaded TSK and Autopsy (to install later), but I’ve never installed a program that didn’t have an EXE.

I know this is beginner things but I’ve got no experience whatsoever, and I don’t understand the instructions in the INSTALL.txt file.

In the README_win32.txt it says there are executables on the website, but I couldn’t find them. I’m also running 64bit so I’m not sure if that’s the best way to do it.

Does anyone have any “instructions for dummies” regarding Windows 10 and installing this?

It sounds like you downloaded the source code from github. Try downloading an installer from here:

Ooh, for some reason I thought I had to download TSK for Autopsy to function? Thank you, I will work with this one!

Nope you only need to do that if you’re building from the source code. The installer has everything Autopsy needs to run.

Thank you so much for this information!
