Where to find the latest Windows build/executable of plaso for usage with Autopsy #3003

Closed Baricanac closed 4 years ago

Baricanac commented 4 years ago

For example as it was written here ; "Where/how to get Plaso 20190708? See Plaso's Users' Guide. As usual, builds are available for Docker, MacOS, Ubuntu, Fedora and Windows."

So I'm left wondering where all the builds/executables for Docker, MacOS, Ubuntu, Fedora and primarily in my case Windows have gone?

How to install Docker, Ubuntu, Fedora are documented here: https://plaso.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sources/user/Users-Guide.html#installing-the-packaged-release

MacOS you'll need to build from source as documented here: https://plaso.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sources/user/MacOS-Source-Release.html. More context on the discontinuing binary release can be found here http://blog.kiddaland.net/2019/11/plaso-20190916-released.html

Discontinuing the Windows packaged release we mentioned in http://blog.kiddaland.net/2020/01/plaso-20200121-released.html (and before). We no longer provide PyInstaller packaged builds, due the state of the PyInstaller project. You can build a PyInstaller packaged version yourself if needed: https://plaso.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sources/developer/Packaging%20with%20pyinstaller.html

However if the Autopsy project depends on having an executable I opt that they work out supporting the PyInstaller project. Alternatively you can use Docker on Windows as well.

@Baricanac I cannot see who put the thumbs up there but I assume that was you and this question is answered. So I'm closing the issue. Reopen if this is not the case.
