__ida_setup__.py add the support of custom IDA plugins directories for the setup.py install command.

Supported options :

--ida                                force custom ida install script.
--ida-version                        specify ida version.
--ida-install-deps                   install ida plugin dependencies.

Just type :

C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install $plugin --ida

__ida_setup__.py is meant to be backward compatible, so you can install it as a "normal" package if you don't provide the --ida switch.

You can specify the ida version if you have several IDA install on your machine :

C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install $plugin --ida --ida-version=6.9

Currently supported versions : 6.8, 6.9, 7.0.

You can also tell Python to download and install any declared dependency by using the --ida-install-deps.

if the plugin is on Pypi, so you can pip from it and injecting ida switches using "--install-option".

(NB : --ida-install-deps is useless here since pip have it's own --no-deps install switch )

• C:\Python27\Scripts\pip2.7.exe install $plugin --install-option="--ida"
• C:\Python27\Scripts\pip2.7.exe install $plugin --install-option="--ida --ida_version="6.9""

Ida is installed in %Program_Files%, so you need to run the install command (whether from a setup.py or pip) with Administrator rights.

Build and upload plugin to pypi :

• C:\Python27\python.exe .\setup.py build sdist
• C:\Python27\Scripts\twine.exe upload .\dist\$plugin-$plugin_version.tar.gz --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ -u $username -p $password

Install from pypi using pip C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi --verbose --no-deps $plugin --install-option="--ida"
