When installing on Debian-based Linux or macOS systems, there are three general steps: [installing prerequisites](#installing-prerequisites), [installing The Sleuth Kit](#installing-the-sleuth-kit), and [installing Autopsy](#installing-autopsy) itself. On macOS, you will want to [setup the JNA paths](#setup-macos-jna-paths).

# Install Autopsy Snap
You can download the snap package from the [releases section](https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/releases) or directly from the [snap store](https://snapcraft.io/autopsy). In order for Autopsy to run properly, snap connections will need to be properly setup, which can be done by running this script: `snap connections autopsy | sed -nE 's/^[^ ]* *([^ ]*) *- *- *$/\1/p' | xargs -I{} sudo snap connect {}`. See the [snap README](./snap/README.md) for more information.
