When run under IDA, capa supports both Python 2 and Python 3 interpreters.
If you encounter issues with your specific setup, please open a new [Issue](https://github.com/fireeye/capa/issues).

#### rule generator
The rule generator helps you to easily write new rules based on the function you are currently analyzing in your IDA disassembly view.
It shows the features that capa can extract from the function, and lets you quickly pull these into a rule template.
You'll still have to provide the logic structures (`and`, `or`, `not`, etc.) but the features will be prepared for you.
To install the plugin, you'll need to be running IDA Pro 7.4 or 7.5 with either Python 2 or Python 3.
Next make sure pip commands are run using the Python install that is configured for your IDA install:
1. Only if running Python 2.7, run command `$ pip install https://github.com/williballenthin/vivisect/zipball/master`
2. Run `$ pip install .` from capa root directory
3. Open IDA and navigate to `File > Script file…` or `Alt+F7`
4. Navigate to `<capa_install_dir>\capa\ida\` and choose `ida_capa_explorer.py`
