<ol>
<li>Follow the [[Installing ChipWhisperer]] instructions for the ChipWhisperer software and its prerequisites.</li>
<li>Connect ChipWhisperer-Lite, install USB Drivers:
<dl>
<dt>Windows:</dt>
<dd><ul>
<li>Plug micro-USB cable into ChipWhisperer-Lite</li>
<li>If the "New Hardware Found" wizard doesn't prompt you for drivers, go to the control panel and find the "ChipWhisperer-Pro" device, and select "Update Drivers".</li>
<li>You can find drivers in <code>c:\chipwhisperer\hardware\capture\chipwhisperer-cw1200\</code>. You will likely need to extract them from the <code>cw1200_usbdriver.zip</code> file. If so simply extract them somewhere (i.e. your desktop), and then point the new hardware found wizard to that location.</li></ul>
</dd>
<dt>Linux:</dt>
<dd><ul>
<li><p>Driver installation is not required, but if you do not update the 'udev' system, you will be unable to run ChipWhisperer-Capture as a regular user. To update the udev system, first make sure the ChipWhisperer-Lite is Make a file called <code>/etc/udev/rules.d/99-cwlite.rules</code> . The contents of this file should be:</p>
<pre># allow users to claim the device
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2b3e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ace3", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"</pre></li>
<li><p>Add your username to the plugdev group:</p>
<pre>$ sudo usermod -a -G plugdev YOUR-USERNAME</pre></li>
<li><p>And reset the udev system:</p>
<pre>$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules</pre></li>
<li>Finally log out & in again for the group change to take effect.</li>
<li>Connect the USB-A cable, and DC power cable</li></ul>
</dd>
<dt>MAC:</dt>
<dd><ul>
<li>No special installation required - must ensure you have installed libusb via homebrew (see instructions at [[MacOSX_Installation]]).</li></ul>
</dd></dl>
</li>
<li><p>To check for a successful installation Run ChipWhisperer-Capture. This can be done from one of three ways:</p>
<blockquote><ul>
<li>Double-click on <code>CWCapture.pyw</code> in the <code>chipwhisperer\software</code> folder. You must have installed Python into your path for this to work.</li>
<li>run <code>python CWCapture.pyw</code> from the <code>chipwhisperer\software</code> folder using a command prompt with Python in the path.</li>
<li>run <code>python CWCaptureGUI.py</code> from the <code>chipwhisperer\software\chipwhisperer\capture\ui</code> directory.</li></ul>
<p>The last option is the most reliable, in that it should always work on all platforms. If it doesn't start look for possible missing modules or other useful errors.</p>
