- ParrotOS: some further notes can be found at @5w0rdfish repo Proxmark Installation for Parrot OS
Install the required dependencies
On Debian / Ubuntu / Kali / ParrotOS / Raspbian
First what we want to do is get an update for the system. If you need to upgrade do this before the install. An upgrade was carried out prior to following these instructions.
Update the packages list
sudo apt-get update
Install the requirements
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends git ca-certificates build-essential pkg-config \
libreadline-dev gcc-arm-none-eabi libnewlib-dev qtbase5-dev
If you don't need the graphical components of the Proxmark3 client, you can skip the installation of qtbase5-dev.
If you get some (non blocking) error at runtime such as Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" you may have to install libcanberra-gtk-module.
On ArchLinux
sudo pacman -Sy base-devel readline arm-none-eabi-gcc arm-none-eabi-newlib git --needed
If you want graphical output (such as in hw tune):
sudo pacman -Su qt5-base
On Fedora
sudo dnf install git make gcc gcc-c++ arm-none-eabi-gcc-cs arm-none-eabi-newlib readline-devel qt5-qtbase-devel libatomic
If you don't need the graphical components of the Proxmark3 client, you can skip the installation of qt5-qtbase-devel.
Clone the RRG/Iceman repository
git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3.git
Check ModemManager
⚠️ Very important ⚠️
make sure ModemManager will not interfer, otherwise it could brick your Proxmark3! Read carefully this page about ModemManager and follow its instructions.
Check connection
Check the proxmark is being picked up by your computer. Plug it in, then:
sudo dmesg | grep -i usb
It should show up as a CDC device:
usb 2-1.2: Product: PM3
usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: proxmark.org
cdc_acm 2-1.2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
And a new /dev/ttyACM0 should have appeared.
Get permissions to use /dev/ttyACM0
Add current user to the proper group to get permission to use /dev/ttyACM0.
This step can be done from the RRG/Iceman Proxmark3 repo with:
make accessrights
Then, you need to logout and login in again for your new group membership to be fully effective.
To test you have the proper read & write rights, plug the Proxmark3 and execute:
[ -r /dev/ttyACM0 ] && [ -w /dev/ttyACM0 ] && echo ok
It must return ok. Otherwise this means you've a permissions problem to fix.
Compile and use the project
Now you're ready to follow the compilation instructions.
