Create and configure a new Windows 7 SP1 or newer Virtual Machine. To install FLARE VM on an existing Windows VM, download and copy install.ps1 on your analysis machine. On the analysis machine open PowerShell as an Administrator and enable script execution by running the following command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Finally, execute the installer script as follows:

.\install.ps1

The script will set up the Boxstarter environment and proceed to download and install the FLARE VM environment. You will be prompted for the Administrator password in order to automate host restarts during installation.

First, install BoxStarter. All commands are expected to be executed with Administrator privileges.

If you are using PowerShell V2:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://boxstarter.org/bootstrapper.ps1')); get-boxstarter -Force

And PowerShell V3 or newest:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
. { iwr -useb http://boxstarter.org/bootstrapper.ps1 } | iex; get-boxstarter -Force

Next, you can deploy FLARE VM environment as follows

Install-BoxstarterPackage -PackageName https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fireeye/flare-vm/master/install.ps1

NOTE: The old installation method using the webinstaller link is now deprecated.

FLARE VM uses the chocolatey public and custom FLARE package repositories. It is easy to install a new package. For example, enter the following command as Administrator to deploy x64dbg on your system:

cinst x64dbg

Type the following command to update all of the packages to the most recent version:

cup all

For an example malware analysis session using FLARE VM, please see the blog at https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2017/07/flare-vm-the-windows-malware.html.
