Hi friends,
I would like to discuss the installation steps of Metasploit here on different operating systems.
Windows is obviously user friendly and setup (executable file) that comes for the framework is easy to download from the Metasploit website: http://www.metasploit.com/framework/download/
Installation is done in few easy steps by specifying the directory to install files for the Metasploit framework. It takes few minutes before complete installation and shortcuts appear in start menu. Try updating the framework before use.
Linux or other distributions require some additional steps for installing the framework. Higher privileges are required, so the command su can help in that case. Use su root command and provide password of root as super user, then use ./framework-3.5.1-linux-i686.run command in current directory, then installation progresses with few options asked from user. For updating the framework in Linux OS, move down to the directory as path: /opt/framework-3.5.1/msf3/ and run msfupdate file using su ./msfupdate command. Now it is ready to run the framework on the Linux operating system.
Additionally, ruby is required on Linux to run the framework which can be downloaded using command sudo apt-get install ruby.
For further information, you can refer to this page: http://www.metasploit.com/redmine/projects/framework/wiki/Install_Ubuntu
