OVERVIEW
@ -10,21 +10,68 @@ Autopsy is a graphical interface to The Sleuth Kit and other open source digital
The current beta version works only on Windows. We have run it on XP, Vista, and Windows 7 with no problems.
Autopsy 3.0 is relased under the Apache 2.0 license.
Autopsy 4.0 is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
INSTALLATION
Autopsy requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to be installed. A 32-bit version of release 1.6+ is required. If you have a 64-bit version of the JRE, then it will fail. We are working on a 64-bit version for a later release.
All Autopsy dependencies are bundled with the installer provided.
There is no need for manual installation of additional dependencies if the installer is used.
You can download Java from here:
http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
Before running Autopsy, you will have to install GStreamer and add the GStreamer 'lib' folder to the PATH environment variable
GStreamer builds for Windows are available at http://code.google.com/p/ossbuild/downloads/list
Refer to the next section for additional info on third-party software requirements to run Autopsy without installer.
You should be able to simply open the Autopsy ZIP file and run the autopsy.exe program located in the 'bin' folder.
