Installing Fandango

To install Fandango, you first need to install Python. Then, run the following command:

$ pip install fandango-fuzzer

Note

In this tutorial, a $ at the beginning of a command stands for your input prompt. Do not enter it yourself.

You can check if everything works well by running

$ fandango --help

Entering fandango --help should result in an output like this:

usage: fandango [-h] [--version] [--verbose | --quiet]
                [--parser {python,cpp,legacy,auto}]
                {fuzz,parse,talk,convert,clear-cache,shell,help,copyright,version} ...
