\section install Deployment Types
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to deploy Autopsy:
|
|
- **Single-User**: Cases can be opened by only a single instance of Autopsy at a time. Autopsy installations do not communicate with each other. This is the easiest to install and deploy. This page outlines that installation process.
|
|
- **Multi-User**: Cases can be opened by multiple users at the same time and users can see what each other is doing. This collaborative deployment requires installation and configuration of other network-based services. The installation of this deployment is covered in \ref install_multiuser_page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section download Download
|
|
Regardless of the deployment type, you can download Autopsy from the website:
|
|
|
|
http://sleuthkit.org/autopsy/download.php
|
|
|
|
We distribute a Windows installer and ZIP files to run on Linux and OS X.

\section install_reqs System Requirements
|
|
|
|
\subsection prereqs_av AntiVirus
|
|
|
|
You should consider either disabling AntiVirus software that runs on your computers that will be running Autopsy or configuring your AntiVirus software to ignore the contents of your case output directory. AntiVirus software may quarantine or even delete some of your results before you get a chance to look at them. Autopsy encodes some of the files that it extracts so that they can not be executed or scanned, but some modules (such as our ZIP extraction module) will directly write files to disk in an unencoded format.
|
|
|
|
Of course, the risk with disabling AntiVirus software is that your computer could be infected with malware that came from your media.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection sysreqs Memory
|
|
|
|
We recommend a minimum of 16GB of RAM.
|
|
|
|
By default, Autopsy will use a maximum of 4GB of RAM (not including memory that the Solr text indexing server uses). You can increase this size after installation by changing the Maximum JVM Memory value in the Runtime section under Tools -> Options -> Application.

\section install_proxy Proxies

|
|

If you are behind a proxy and need access to a network with Autopsy or one of the modules, you may set your proxy information in the _Tools_, _Options_, _General_ tab as shown in the screenshot below.
