# Autopsy 4.0

Autopsy 3.0
http://www.sleuthkit.org/
March 3, 2016
March 13, 2013
##OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
Autopsy is a graphical interface to The Sleuth Kit and other open source digital forensics tools.
Autopsy 4 (and 3) are a complete rewrite from Autopsy 2, and none of this document is relevant to Autopsy 2.
Autopsy 3 is a complete rewrite from Autopsy 2 and it is now Java-based.
Although Autopsy is designed to be cross-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOSX), the current version is fully functional and fully tested only on Windows.
You can run Autopsy 4 on Linux and OS X, but it must be built from source code.
We have run it on XP, Vista, and Windows 7 with no problems.
Autopsy 3 and 4 source code are distributed under a Apache 2 license. The package contains libraries that may have different licenses.
Autopsy 3.0 is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
##INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
All Autopsy dependencies are bundled with the installer provided.
For Autopsy 3, there is no need for manual installation of additional dependencies if the installer is used.
The current version of Autopsy 4 is distributed on sleuthkit.org only as a Windows installer. It can run on Linux and OS X, but requires some manual setup. To install Autopsy, perform the following steps:
* Run the Autopsy msi file
* If Windows prompts with User Account Control, click Yes
* Click through the dialog boxes until you click a button that says Finish
* Autopsy should now be fully installed
There is no need for manual installation of additional dependencies if the installer is used.
If you want the Japanese localized version, you must have the Japanese language pack (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972813) installed and the default locale set to JA. (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-system-locale#1TC=windows-7).
