GRR is an open-source platform for remote live forensics and investigations. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install GRR on NixOS latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install dependencies required for GRR. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.inotify-tools nixpkgs.lxml nixpkgs.protobuf-python nixpkgs.python3 nixpkgs.ssl nixpkgs.zope-interface
Wait for the installation to finish.
Now that the dependencies are installed, it's time to install GRR. Execute the following command:
sudo nix-env -i grr
This will install the latest version of GRR on your NixOS system.
After the installation, we need to configure GRR. Run the following command to initialize the configuration:
sudo /nix/store/*/bin/grr_config_updater initialize
You will be prompted with several questions. Answer them according to your preference.
Finally, start GRR by executing the following command:
sudo /nix/store/*/bin/grr_server
It will start the GRR server and you will be able to access the web interface by opening your browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.
