## Installation
Clone the git repo:
Install from Pypi:
```bash
$ pip install mythril
```
Or, clone the GitHub repo to install the newest master branch:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/b-mueller/mythril/
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ cd mythril
$ python setup.py install
```

To disassemble a piece of bytecode, pass it on the command line:
```bash
$ ./mythril.py -d -c "0x606060405050"
$ mythril -d -c "0x606060405050"

Mythril can assemble code from input files that contain one instruction per line. To start from an existing contract, save the disassembly to a text file:
```bash
$ ./mythril.py -d -c "0x606060405050" -o code.easm
$ mythril -d -c "0x606060405050" -o code.easm
```
Edit the instructions in a text editor. For example, we can modify the `PUSH` instructions from the original example:

Save the file and run Mythril with the `-a` flag to re-assemble:

For larger contracts, you might prefer to compile them to a binary file instead:
```
$ ./mythril.py -a contract.easm -o contract.bin
$ ./mythril.py --trace -f contract.bin
$ mythril -a contract.easm -o contract.bin
$ mythril --trace -f contract.bin

To load contract code from your node, pass the TxID of the transaction that created the contract:
```bash
$ ./mythril.py -d --txid 0x23112645da9ae684270de843faaeb44918c79a09e019d3a6cf8b87041020340e -o some_contract.easm

```
Note: If you want to get code from the Ethereum mainnet, it is easier to download it from [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io).
