+"""
+Generate capa linter-data.json, used to validate Att&ck/MBC IDs and names.
+
+Use the --extractor option to extract data from Att&ck or MBC (or both) frameworks.
+Use the --output to choose the output json file.
+By default, the script will create a linter-data.json in the scripts/ directory for both frameworks.
+
+Note: The capa rules linter will try to load from its default location (scripts/linter-data.json).
+
+Usage:
+
+    usage: setup-linter-dependencies.py [-h] [--extractor {both,mbc,att&ck}] [--output OUTPUT]
+
+    Setup linter dependencies.
+
+    optional arguments:
+      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+      --extractor {both,mbc,att&ck}
+                            Extractor that will be run
+      --output OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT
+                            Path to output file (lint.py will be looking for linter-data.json)
+
+
+Example:
+
+    $ python3 setup-linter-dependencies.py
