Install Unix

Generic unix/linux installations (including Mac OS X) require a Perl 5 installation. Modules needed by Nikto are either included (e.g., LibWhisker) or found in most standard installations.

Install Source It is highly recommended that your installation be run from the git repository or using the latest [auto-generated zip file](Latest GitHub Release), if necessary. Nikto is not currently packaged on any release schedule (the git version identifies as v2.1.6).

Layout Nikto is designed to be self-contained. Unpack the archive (using your favorite combination of unzip, tar and gzip) into a directory and Nikto can be run entirely from that directory without placing files throughout the system.

• Net::SSLeay, or
• Net::SSL

• Getopt::Long
• JSON::PP
• MIME::Base64
• MD5
• Time::Local
