Install Poetry

Poetry is tool to handle dependency installation as well as building and packaging of Python packages.

More details in the the installation guide.

Install Redis

Redis: An open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker.

Redis should be installed from the source, and the repository must be in the same directory as the one you will be cloning Lookyloo in to.

In order to compile and test redis, you will need a few packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install build-essential tcl
git clone https://github.com/redis/redis.git
cd redis
git checkout 6.2
make
# Optionally, you can run the tests:
make test
cd ..

Install Lookyloo

Prerequisites

  • Poetry is installed.

  • Redis is installed from the source. The repository must be in the same directory as the one you will be cloning Lookyloo in to.

  • Python3 development package

sudo apt install python3-dev
sudo apt install libnss3 libnspr4 libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libcups2 libxkbcommon0 libxdamage1 libgbm1 libpango-1.0-0 libcairo2 libatspi2.0-0 libxcomposite1 libxfixes3 libxrandr2

Procedure

  1. Clone the Lookyloo repository.

    git clone https://github.com/Lookyloo/lookyloo.git

  2. Change directory

    cd lookyloo

  3. Run the commands:

    poetry install
echo LOOKYLOO_HOME="'`pwd`'" > .env
If you have error messages about python 2.7, it is an issue with poetry, and the quick and dirty fix is to edit ~/.poetry/bin/poetry and add a 3 at the end of the line: 
#!/usr/bin/env python3

instead of

#!/usr/bin/env python

Install pymisp dependencies (optional)

If you want to install the pymisp dependencies, please install libfuzzy-dev and the run poetry with -E option

sudo apt-get install libfuzzy-dev
poetry install -E misp

Configuration

  1. Initialize the user configuration

    cp config/generic.json.sample config/generic.json
cp config/modules.json.sample config/modules.json

  2. Edit the config files accordingly to your needs: see the _notes key in the JSON file. You can also look at the integration page for more information regarding the modules, and the configuration page for the generic configuration options.

  3. Make sure the configuration files are valid, and pull the 3rd party dependencies for the website

    poetry run update --yes

Run the app

poetry run start

Open the website

Unless you changed the default in config/generic.json, the web interface will be reachable at http://0.0.0.0:5100/

Install uwhoisd (Optional)

sudo cp etc/systemd/system/uwhoisd.service.sample /etc/systemd/system/uwhoisd.service
cd ..
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start uwhoisd
sudo systemctl status uwhoisd

If everything is ok, activate the service for reboot

sudo systemctl enable uwhoisd
