How to install IDAPython a python plugin for IDA on windows 10


I am really stuck. I have been searching materials(videos/documents) that help me to install python plugin on IDA. I tried this https://github.com/idapython/src/ and followed the installation process but still IDA is unable to find python as plugin.

I am using IDA freeware and latest version of python on windows 10.

Please help me.


Solution

  • You don't need IDA python installed. It's already installed for you.

    E.g. on OS X the path is following:

    ls -1 /Applications/IDA\ Pro\ 7.1/ida.app/Contents/MacOS/python
    PyQt5
    ida_allins.py
    ida_allins.pyc
    ida_auto.py
    ida_auto.pyc
    ida_bytes.py
    ida_bytes.pyc
    ...
    

    But in your case you should know that IDA Free has no idapython included...
