Here is the implementation plan to add a `ghidra setup` command that automates the downloading and installation of Ghidra.
### 1. Update Dependencies
First, we need to add crates for HTTP requests, file downloading, zip extraction, and progress bars.
**Action:** Update `Cargo.toml`
```toml
[dependencies]
# ... existing dependencies ...
reqwest = { version = "0.11", features = ["json", "stream", "rustls-tls"] }
zip = "0.6"
futures-util = "0.3" # For handling download streams
indicatif = "0.17" # For progress bars
```
### 2. Update CLI Definition
Add the `setup` command to the argument parser.
**Action:** Modify `src/cli.rs`
```rust
// In enum Commands
#[derive(Subcommand, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
pub enum Commands {
// ... existing commands ...
/// Download and setup Ghidra automatically
Setup(SetupArgs),
}
// Define arguments
#[derive(Args, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
pub struct SetupArgs {
/// Specific Ghidra version to install (e.g., "11.0"). Defaults to latest.
#[arg(long)]
pub version: Option<String>,
/// Installation directory. Defaults to standard data directory.
#[arg(long, short = 'd')]
pub dir: Option<String>,
/// Skip Java check
#[arg(long)]
pub force: bool,
}
```
### 3. Create Setup Module
Create a new module to handle the download and extraction logic. This keeps `main.rs` clean.
**Action:** Create `src/ghidra/setup.rs`
This file will contain logic to:
1. **Check for Java**: Run `java -version` to ensure prerequisites are met.
2. **Fetch Release Info**: Query the GitHub API (`https://api.github.com/repos/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/releases/latest`) to get the download URL.
3. **Download**: Stream the zip file with a progress bar using `reqwest` and `indicatif`.
4. **Extract**: Unzip the file to the target directory using `zip`.
5. **Detect Installation**: Find the actual Ghidra folder inside the zip (usually `ghidra_X.X.X_PUBLIC`).
**Sketch of `src/ghidra/setup.rs`:**
```rust
use std::path::{Path, PathBuf};
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::Write;
use anyhow::{Context, Result, anyhow};
use futures_util::StreamExt;
use indicatif::{ProgressBar, ProgressStyle};
pub async fn install_ghidra(version: Option<String>, target_dir: PathBuf) -> Result<PathBuf> {
// 1. Resolve Version & URL (GitHub API or hardcoded fallback for specific versions)
let (download_url, filename) = resolve_version_url(version).await?;
// 2. Download File
let zip_path = target_dir.join(&filename);
download_file(&download_url, &zip_path).await?;
// 3. Extract
let install_path = extract_zip(&zip_path, &target_dir)?;
// 4. Cleanup zip
std::fs::remove_file(zip_path)?;
Ok(install_path)
}
async fn download_file(url: &str, path: &Path) -> Result<()> {
let client = reqwest::Client::new();
let res = client.get(url).send().await?;
let total_size = res.content_length().unwrap_or(0);
let pb = ProgressBar::new(total_size);
pb.set_style(ProgressStyle::default_bar()
.template("{msg}\n{spinner:.green} [{elapsed_precise}] [{wide_bar:.cyan/blue}] {bytes}/{total_bytes} ({eta})")?
.progress_chars("#>-"));
pb.set_message(format!("Downloading from {}", url));
let mut file = File::create(path)?;
let mut stream = res.bytes_stream();
while let Some(item) = stream.next().await {
let chunk = item?;
file.write_all(&chunk)?;
pb.inc(chunk.len() as u64);
}
pb.finish_with_message("Download complete");
Ok(())
}
fn extract_zip(zip_path: &Path, target_dir: &Path) -> Result<PathBuf> {
// Uses 'zip' crate to extract
// Returns the path to the extracted 'ghidra_X.X.X' directory
}
pub fn check_java_requirement() -> Result<()> {
// Exec "java -version" and check output
}
```
### 4. Integrate Module
Expose the new module.
**Action:** Modify `src/ghidra/mod.rs`
```rust
pub mod setup;
// ... existing code ...
```
### 5. Implement Handler in Main
Connect the CLI command to the logic and update the configuration upon success.
**Action:** Modify `src/main.rs`
1. Add to the `run` match arm:
```rust
// In run() function
Commands::Setup(args) => handle_setup(args).await,
```
2. Implement `handle_setup`:
```rust
async fn handle_setup(args: cli::SetupArgs) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
println!("Ghidra Setup Wizard");
println!("===================");
// 1. Check Java
if !args.force {
if let Err(e) = ghidra::setup::check_java_requirement() {
eprintln!("Warning: Java prerequisite check failed: {}", e);
eprintln!("Ghidra requires JDK 17+. Continue anyway? [y/N]");
// ... input confirmation logic ...
}
}
// 2. Determine Install Directory
let install_base = if let Some(d) = args.dir {
PathBuf::from(d)
} else {
// Default to XDG_DATA_HOME/ghidra-cli/ghidra
dirs::data_local_dir()
.ok_or(anyhow::anyhow!("Could not determine data directory"))?
.join("ghidra-cli")
.join("ghidra")
};
std::fs::create_dir_all(&install_base)?;
// 3. Install
println!("Installing to: {}", install_base.display());
let final_path = ghidra::setup::install_ghidra(args.version, install_base).await?;
// 4. Update Config
let mut config = Config::load()?;
config.ghidra_install_dir = Some(final_path.clone());
config.save()?;
println!("\nSuccess! Ghidra installed at: {}", final_path.display());
println!("Configuration updated.");
// 5. Verify
println!("\nVerifying installation...");
// Reuse existing doctor logic or verify_installation()
let client = GhidraClient::new(config)?;
client.verify_installation()?;
println!("Verification passed!");
Ok(())
}
```
### 6. Make Main Async-Aware for Sync Commands
Currently `run` is synchronous, but `reqwest` is async.
* The `main` function is already `#[tokio::main]`.
* We need to change `run(cli: Cli)` to `async fn run(cli: Cli)`.
* Most existing handlers in `run` are synchronous; calling them from an async function is fine.
* However, `handle_setup` needs to be awaited.
**Refactoring:**
Change the signature of `run` in `src/main.rs`:
```rust
async fn run(cli: Cli) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
match cli.command {
// ...
Commands::Setup(args) => handle_setup(args).await, // New async handler
_ => {
// Existing sync handlers can wrap in simple blocks if needed,
// or just be called directly as they return Result
match cli.command {
Commands::Query(args) => handle_query(args),
// ... rest of sync commands
_ => Ok(())
}
}
}
}
```
### Summary of Workflow
1. User runs `ghidra setup`.
2. CLI checks for Java.
3. CLI fetches latest release URL from GitHub.
4. CLI downloads ~300MB+ zip file showing progress.
5. CLI unzips it.
6. CLI updates `config.yaml` automatically setting `ghidra_install_dir`.
7. User can immediately run `ghidra quick binary.exe`.
